TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a terminal device, a base stationapparatus, a communication method, and an integrated circuit.

BACKGROUND ART

A base station apparatus (a base station, a cell, a first communicationapparatus (communication apparatus different from a terminal device),and eNodeB), and a terminal device (a terminal, a mobile terminal, amobile station apparatus, a second communication apparatus(communication apparatus different from the base station apparatus),user equipment (UE), and a user device) are included in a communicationsystem such as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)(registered trademark), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and LTE-Advanced(LTE-A) by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), and a WirelessLocal Area Network (WLAN), and Worldwide Interoperability for MicrowaveAccess (WiMAX) by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics engineers(IEEE). Each of the base station apparatus and the terminal deviceincludes a plurality of transmit/receive antennae. The base stationapparatus and the terminal device perform spatial multiplexing on a datasignal by using a Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) technology, and thushigh-speed data communication is realized.

In 3GPP, in order to realize high-speed data communication between thebase station apparatus and the terminal device, carrier aggregation (CA)in which simultaneous communication is performed by using a plurality ofcomponent carriers is employed (NPL 1).

In 3GPP, as a frame structure type of a bi-directional communicationscheme (duplex communication scheme), frequency division duplex (FDD)and time division duplex (TDD) are employed. In FDD, a full duplexscheme in which bi-directional communication can be simultaneouslyperformed, and a half duplex scheme in which uni-directionalcommunication is switched and thus the bi-directional communication isrealized are employed (NPL 2). There is also a case where LTE employingthe TDD is referred to as TD-LTE or LTE TDD.

In 3GPP, TDD-FDD carrier aggregation (TDD-FDD CA) in which a componentcarrier (TDD carrier) which supports the TDD, and a component carrier(FDD carrier) which supports the FDD are aggregated and communication isperformed is examined (NPL 3).

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In a communication system of an embodiment, carrier aggregation in whicha plurality of component carriers are aggregated (summed, collected) soas to perform communication is applied. Because a cell may be configuredby using a component carrier, the carrier aggregation may be referred toas cell aggregation. That is, the communication system according to theembodiment may perform communication by using integration of a pluralityof cells. In the communication system according to the embodiment, thecell aggregation aggregates a cell (TDD cell, TDD serving cell, TDDcarrier, and TDD component carrier) to which a TDD scheme is applied,and a cell (FDD cell, FDD serving cell, FDD carrier, and FDD componentcarrier) to which an FDD scheme is applied, among the plurality ofcells, and performs communication. That is, in the communication systemaccording to the embodiment, the cell aggregation is applied in aplurality of cells in which a different frame structure type isconfigured. The frame structure type may be referred to as duplex mode.In LTE and LTE-A, Frame structure type 1 is defined as the FDD, andFrame constitution type 2 is defined as the TDD.

In the cell aggregation, one primary cell and one or more secondarycells are aggregated so as to perform communication. The primary cellmay be configured by using an uplink component carrier and a downlinkcomponent carrier. On the contrary, the secondary cell may be configuredby using only a downlink component carrier.

A plurality of configured serving cells (plurality of configured cells)includes one primary cell and one or a plurality of secondary cells. Theprimary cell is a serving cell in which initial connection establishmentprocedure is performed, a serving cell in which connectionreestablishment procedure is started, or a cell instructed as a primarycell in a handover procedure. The secondary cell may be configured at apoint of time when or after RRC connection is established. A pluralityof serving cells may be constituted by one base station apparatus 1, anda plurality of serving cells may be constituted by a plurality of basestation apparatuses 1.

A frequency band in an uplink and a downlink (UL/DL operating band) anda duplex mode (TDD, FDD) are correlated with one index. The frequencyband in an uplink and a downlink (UL/DL operating band) and the duplexmode are managed on one table. This index may be also referred to as anE-UTRA operating band, an E-UTRA band, or a band. For example, Index 1may be also referred to as Band 1, Index 2 may be also referred to asBand 2, and Index n may be also referred to as Band n. For example, inBand 1, an uplink operating band is from 1920 MHz to 1980 MHz, adownlink operating band is from 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz, and the duplexmode is FDD. In Band 33, the uplink and downlink operating band is from1900 MHz to 1920 MHz, and the duplex mode is TDD.

A combination (E-UTRA CA Band) of bands in which performing carrieraggregation is possible may be configured. For example, the carrieraggregation performed by using component carriers in Band 1 and Band 5may be indicated to be possible. That is, it may be indicated whether ornot the carrier aggregation is performed by using component carriers inbands different from each other.

A combination of a band supported by a terminal device 2, and a band inwhich performing the carrier aggregation is possible is configured infunction information (UE capability, UE-EUTRA-Capability) of theterminal device 2. The base station apparatus 1 can recognize a functionincluded in the terminal device 2 by the terminal device 2 transmittingthe function information.

The present invention may be applied to some of a plurality ofconfigured cells. A cell configured in the terminal device 2 may be alsoreferred to as a serving cell.

TDD is a technology in which time division multiplexing is performed onan uplink signal and a downlink signal, and thus communication betweenan uplink and a downlink is allowed in a single frequency band (carrierfrequency, component carrier). In LTE, configuration is performed inadvance, and thus a downlink and an uplink may be switched in a subframeunit. In TDD, a subframe (downlink subframe, and subframe reserved fordownlink transmission) in which downlink transmission is allowed, and asubframe (uplink subframe, and subframe reserved for uplinktransmission) in which uplink transmission is allowed, and further aguard period (GP) are configured, and thus a subframe (special subframe)in which downlink transmission and uplink transmission can be switchedin a time region (symbol region) is defined. In a special subframe, atime region (symbol corresponding to the time region) in which downlinktransmission is allowed is referred to as a downlink pilot time slot(DwPTS), and a time region (symbol corresponding to the time region) inwhich uplink transmission is allowed is referred to as an uplink pilottime slot (UpPTS). For example, in a case where a subframe i is adownlink subframe in the terminal device 2, a downlink signaltransmitted from the base station apparatus 1 can be received. In a casewhere a subframe j different from the subframe i is an uplink subframe,an uplink signal can be transmitted from the terminal device 2 to thebase station apparatus 1. In a case where a subframe k which isdifferent from the subframe i or the subframe j is a special subframe, adownlink signal can be received in a downlink time region DwPTS, and anuplink signal can be transmitted in an uplink time region UpPTS.

In order to perform communication by using the TDD scheme in LTE andLTE-A, notification is performed by using a specific information element(TDD UL/DL (UL-DL) configuration (TDD UL/DL configuration(s), TDDuplink-downlink configuration(s)), TDD configuration (TDDconfiguration(s), tdd-Config, TDD config), and UL/DL (UL-DL)configuration (uplink-downlink configuration(s))). The terminal device 2may consider a certain subframe as any one of an uplink subframe, adownlink subframe, and a special subframe, based on notifiedinformation, and may perform transmission and reception processing.

Regarding a constitution of a special subframe (DwPTS, UpPTS, and lengthof GP in the special subframe), a plurality of patterns is defined, andis managed in a manner of a table. The plurality of patterns iscorrelated with values (indices), and notification of the valuecorresponding to the pattern is performed, and thus the terminal deviceperforms processing of the special subframe. That is, notification ofinformation regarding constitution of the special subframe may beperformed from the base station apparatus 1 to the terminal device 2.

A traffic adaptive control technology in which a ratio of an uplinkresource and a downlink resource is changed in accordance with trafficof an uplink and traffic of a downlink (information quantity, dataquantity, and communication volume) may be applied to TDD. For example,a ratio of a downlink subframe and an uplink subframe may be dynamicallychanged. Regarding a certain subframe, the downlink subframe and theuplink subframe may be adaptively switched. Such a subframe is referredto as a flexible subframe. The base station apparatus 1 can receive anuplink signal or transmit a downlink signal in a flexible subframe, inaccordance with a condition (situation). The terminal device 2 mayperform reception processing considering a flexible subframe as thedownlink subframe, as long as the base station apparatus 1 does notperform an instruction of transmission of an uplink signal in theflexible subframe. Such TDD in which the ratio of the downlink subframeand the uplink subframe, subframes of the uplink and the downlink, orthe TDD UL/DL (re)configuration is dynamically changed may be alsoreferred to as dynamic TDD (DTDD) or enhanced interference mitigationand traffic adaptation (eIMTA). For example, TDD UL/DL configurationinformation may be transmitted through L1 signaling.

FDD is a technology in which communication between a downlink and anuplink is allowed different frequency bands (carrier frequencies,component carriers).

As the communication system, a cellular communication system in which aplurality of areas which are covered by the base station apparatus 1 andhave a cell shape is disposed may be applied. A single base stationapparatus 1 may manage a plurality of cells. A single base stationapparatus 1 may manage a plurality of remote radio heads (RRHs). Asingle base station apparatus 1 may manage a plurality of local areas. Asingle base station apparatus 1 may manage a plurality of heterogeneousnetworks (HetNets). A single base station apparatus 1 may manage aplurality of low power base station apparatuses (LPN: Low Power Node).

In the communication system, the terminal device 2 measures referencesignal received power (RSRP) based on a cell specific referencesignal(s) (CRS).

In the communication system, communication may be performed by usingcarriers (component carriers) in which some of physical channels orsignals defined in LTE are not mapped. Here, such a carrier is referredto as a new carrier type (NCT). For example, in the new carrier type, acell specific reference signal, a physical downlink control channel, ora synchronization signal (primary synchronization signal, secondarysynchronization signal) may be not mapped. In a cell in which the newcarrier type is configured, application of a physical channel (PDCH:Physical Discovery Channel, NDS: New Discovery Signal(s), DRS: DiscoveryReference Signal, and DS: Discovery Signal) for measuring mobility ordetecting time/frequency synchronization is examined. The new carriertype may be also referred to as an additional carrier type (ACT).Regarding the NCT, a known carrier type may be also referred to as alegacy carrier type (LCT).

In the embodiment, “X/Y” includes a meaning of “X or Y”. In theembodiment, “X/Y” includes a meaning of “X and Y”. In the embodiment,“X/Y” includes a meaning of “X and/or Y”.

(Physical Channel)

The main physical channel (or physical signal) used in LTE and LTE-Awill be described. The channel means a medium used in transmission of asignal. The physical channel means a physical medium used intransmission of a signal. The physical channel may be added after now,or the structure or a format type thereof may be changed or added in LTEand LTE-A, and release of the subsequent standard. However, even whensuch a case occurs, the case does not influence the descriptions for theembodiment of the present invention.

In LTE and LTE-A, scheduling of the physical channel is managed by usinga radio frame. One radio frame is 10 ms and one radio frame isconstituted by 10 subframes. Further, one subframe is constituted by 2slots (that is, one slot is 0.5 ms). The scheduling is managed by usinga resource block as a smallest unit for the scheduling, to which thephysical channel is allocated. The resource block is defined as a regionwhich includes a constant frequency region in which a frequency axis isconstituted by a set of a plurality of subcarriers (for example, 12subcarriers), and a constant transmission time interval (for example,one slot, seven symbols).

In order to improve communication accuracy, a cyclic prefix (CP)allocated to a redundant portion of the physical channel is applied tothe physical channel and is transmitted. The length of the CP causes thenumber of symbols allocated in one slot to be changed. For example, in acase of a normal CP, seven symbols may be allocated in one slot. In acase of an extended CP, six symbols may be allocated in one slot.

An interval between subcarriers is narrowed, and thus 24 subcarriers maybe allocated in one resource block. Such a case may be applied to aspecific physical channel.

The physical channel corresponds to a set of resource elements fortransmitting information which is output from a higher layer. A physicalsignal is used in a physical layer, and does not transmit informationwhich is output from a higher layer. That is, control information of ahigher layer, such as a radio resource control (RRC) message or systeminformation (SI) is transmitted on a physical channel.

As a downlink physical channel, there are a physical downlink sharedchannel (PDSCH), a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), a physicalmulticast channel (PMCH), a physical control format indicator channel(PCFICH), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical hybridARQ indicator channel (PHICH), and an enhanced physical downlink controlchannel (EPDCCH). As a downlink physical signal, various referencesignals and various synchronization signals are provided. As a downlinkreference signal (DL-RS), there are a cell specific reference signal(CRS), an UE specific reference signal (UERS), and a channel stateinformation reference signal (CSI-RS). As a synchronization signal,there are a primary synchronization signal (PSS), and a secondarysynchronization signal (SSS).

As an uplink physical channel, there are a physical uplink sharedchannel (PUSCH), a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and aphysical random access channel (PRACH). As an uplink physical signal,various reference signals are provided. As an uplink reference signal,there are a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a soundingreference signal (SRS).

The synchronization signal is constituted by three types of PSSs, and anSSS. The SSS is constituted by 31 types of codes which are arranged atdifferent positions in a frequency domain. A physical layer cellidentity (PCI: physical layer cell identity, physical cell identity,physical cell identifier) and a frame timing for radio synchronizationare indicated by combining the PSS and the SSS. The physical layer cellidentity is used for identifying the base station apparatus 1 like 504.The terminal device 2 specifies a cell identifier of the receivedsynchronization signal, by cell searching. The cell identifier may bealso referred to as a cell ID. The physical layer cell identity may bealso referred to as a physical cell ID.

A physical broadcast channel (PBCH) is transmitted for the purpose ofperforming a notification of a control parameter (broadcast informationor system information) which is commonly used in terminal devices 2 in acell. Broadcast information (for example, SIB 1 or portion of systeminformation) of which notification on the PBCH is not performed istransmitted through a DL-SCH on a PDSCH. Notification of a cell globalidentifier (CGI), a tracking area identifier (TAD, random accessconfiguration information (transmission timing timer and the like),common radio resource configuration information (shared radio resourceconfiguration information), and the like as the broadcast information isperformed. The cell global identifier (CGI) indicates an identifierspecific to a cell. The tracking area identifier is for managing an areawaiting by paging.

The downlink reference signal is classified into a plurality of types inaccordance with the use thereof. For example, the cell specificreference signal (CRS) is a pilot signal transmitted with predeterminedpower for each cell, and is a downlink reference signal of whichtransmission is periodically repeated in the frequency domain and in thetime domain, based on a predetermined rule. The terminal device 2receives the cell specific reference signal, and thus measures receptionquality for each cell. The terminal device 2 uses the cell specificreference signal as a reference signal for demodulating a physicaldownlink control channel or a physical downlink shared channeltransmitted by an antenna port which is the same as that used for thecell specific reference signal. As a sequence used for the cell specificreference signal, a sequence which can be identified for each cell isused. The CRS may be transmitted in all downlink subframes by the basestation apparatus 1. However, the terminal device 2 may receive the CRSonly on a designated downlink subframe.

The downlink reference signal is also used in estimating propagationfluctuation in a downlink. Each of downlink reference signals used inestimating propagation fluctuation may be referred to as a channel stateinformation reference signal (CSI-RS) or a CSI reference signal. A CSIreference signal which is not transmitted in practice or is transmittedwith zero power may be referred to as a zero power channel stateinformation reference signals (ZP CSI-RS) or a zero power CSI referencesignal. A CSI reference signal which is transmitted in practice may bereferred to as a non zero power channel state information referencesignal (NZP CSI-RS) or a non zero power CSI reference signal.

Each of downlink resources used in measuring an interference componentmay be referred to as a channel state information-interferencemeasurement resource (CSI-IMR) or a CSI-IM resource. The terminal device2 may measure interference signal by using a zero power CSI referencesignal included in a CSI-IM resource, so as to calculate a value of aCQI. A downlink reference signal which is configured dedicatedly foreach terminal device 2 is referred to as an UE specific reference signal(UERS) or a dedicated reference signal, a downlink demodulationreference signal (DL DMRS), and the like. Such a downlink referencesignal is used in demodulating the physical downlink control channel orthe physical downlink shared channel.

A sequence for the downlink reference signals may be generated based ona pseudo-random sequence. The sequence for the downlink referencesignals may be generated based on a Zadoff-Chu sequence. The sequencefor the downlink reference signals may be generated based on a Goldsequence. The sequence for the downlink reference signals may begenerated based on subspecies or modifications of the pseudo-randomsequence, the Zadoff-Chu sequence, or the Gold sequence.

The physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is used for transmittingdownlink data (DL-SCH). The PDSCH is also used in a case where systeminformation is transmitted on the DL-SCH. Radio resource assignmentinformation for the physical downlink shared channel is indicated by thephysical downlink control channel. The PDSCH is also used in performingnotification of a parameter (information element, RRC message) relatingto a downlink and an uplink.

The physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is transmitted by usingsome OFDM symbols from the leading of each subframe, and is used forinstructing the terminal device 2 of resource assignment information oran adjusted quantity of an increase or a decrease of transmitted powerin accordance with scheduling of the base station apparatus 1. It isnecessary that the terminal device 2 monitors a physical downlinkcontrol channel thereof before a message of Layer 3 (paging, handovercommand, RRC message, and the like) is transmitted and received, andacquires resource assignment information from the physical downlinkcontrol channel. The resource assignment information is referred to asan uplink grant when transmission is performed, and is referred to as adownlink grant (also referred to as downlink assignment) when receptionis performed. The physical downlink control channel may be constitutedso as to be transmitted with the above-described OFDM symbols, and to betransmitted in a region of resource blocks which are dedicatedlyallocated to the terminal device 2 from the base station apparatus 1.The physical downlink control channel transmitted in the region of theresource blocks which are dedicatedly allocated to the terminal device 2from the base station apparatus 1 may be also referred to as an enhancedphysical downlink control channel (EPDCCH: Enhanced PDCCH). The PDCCHtransmitted with the above-described OFDM symbols may be also referredto as a first control channel. The EPDCCH may be also referred to as asecond control channel. The resource region to which the PDCCH can beallocated may be also referred to as a first control channel region. Theresource region to which the EPDCCH can be allocated may be alsoreferred to as a second control channel region. A PDCCH which will bedescribed later is assumed to basically include an EPDCCH.

The base station apparatus 1 may transmit a PCFICH, a PHICH, a PDCCH, anEPDCCH, a PDSCH, a synchronization signal (PSS/SSS), and a downlinkreference signal in a DwPTS of a special subframe. The base stationapparatus 1 may not transmit a PBCH in the DwPTS of the specialsubframe.

The terminal device 2 may transmit a PRACH and a SRS in an UpPTS of thespecial subframe. The terminal device 2 may not transmit a PUCCH, aPUSCH, and a DMRS in the UpPTS of the special subframe.

In a case where the special subframe is constituted only by a GP and anUpPTS, the terminal device 2 may transmit the PUCCH and/or the PUSCHand/or the DMRS in the UpPTS of the special subframe.

Here, the terminal device 2 monitors PDCCH candidates and/or EPDCCHcandidates. Hereinafter, for simple descriptions, a PDCCH may include anEPDCCH. The PDCCH candidates indicate candidates having a probability ofthe base station apparatus 1 mapping and transmitting a PDCCH. Each ofthe PDCCH candidates is constituted from one or a plurality of controlchannel elements (CCEs). The monitoring may include a case where theterminal device 2 attempts to decode each of PDCCHs in a set of thePDCCH candidates, in accordance to all monitored DCI formats.

Here, the set of PDCCH candidates monitored by the terminal device 2 isalso referred to as a search space. The search space means a set ofresources having a probability of being used in transmitting the PDCCHby the base station apparatus 1. A common search space (CSS) and aterminal device specific search space (USS: UE-specific search space)are constituted (defined, configured) in a PDCCH region.

The CSS is used in transmitting downlink control information to aplurality of terminal devices 2. That is, the CSS is defined by a commonresource for the plurality of terminal devices 2. The USS is used intransmitting the downlink control information to a certain specificterminal device 2. That is, the USS is dedicatedly configured for thecertain specific terminal device 2. The USS may be configured so as tobe duplicated in a plurality of terminal devices 2.

Downlink control information (DCI) is transmitted to the terminal device2 from the base station apparatus 1 in a specific format (constitution,form). The format may be referred to as a DCI format. Transmission ofthe DCI format includes a case where DCI having a certain format istransmitted. The DCI format may be restated as a format for transmittingthe DCI. As the DCI format transmitted to the terminal device 2 from thebase station apparatus 1, a plurality of formats is prepared (forexample, DCI format 0/1/1A/1B/1C/1D/2/2A/2B/2C/2D/3/3A/4). Fields (bitfields) corresponding to various types of downlink control informationare set in the DCI format.

In a case where common DCI (single DCI) is transmitted to a plurality ofterminal devices 2 in a certain DCI format, the base station apparatus 1performs transmission in a PDCCH (or EPDCCH) CSS. In a case where DCI isdedicatedly transmitted to each of the terminal devices 2 in a certainDCI format, the base station apparatus 1 performs transmission in aPDCCH (or EPDCCH) USS.

As the DCI transmitted in the DCI format, there are resource assignmentof a PUSCH or a PDSCH, modulation and coding scheme, a soundingreference signal request (SRS request), a channel state informationrequest (CSI request), an instruction of first transmission orretransmission of a single transport block, a transmitted power controlcommand for a PUSCH, a transmitted power control command for a PUCCH,cyclic shift of an UL DMRS, an index of an orthogonal code cover (OCC),and the like. In addition, various types of DCI are defined by aspecification document.

A format used in uplink transmission control (for example, scheduling ofa PUSCH, and the like) may be referred to as an uplink DCI format (forexample, DCI format 0/4) or DCI associated with an uplink. The uplinktransmission control may be referred to as an uplink grant. A formatused in downlink reception control (for example, scheduling of a PDSCH,and the like) may be referred to as a downlink DCI format (for example,DCI format 1/1A/1B/1C/1D/2/2A/2B/2C/2D), or DCI associated with adownlink. The downlink reception control may be referred to as adownlink grant, downlink assignment, or downlink allocation. A formatused for adjusting transmitted power of each of a plurality of terminaldevices 2 may be referred to as a group triggering DCI format (forexample, DCI format 3/3A).

For example, DCI format 0 is used for transmitting information regardingresource assignment of a PUSCH, which is required for performingscheduling of one PUSCH in one serving cell, or information regarding amodulation scheme, information regarding a transmitted power control(TPC) command for the PUSCH, and the like. The DCI is transmitted on aPDCCH/EPDCCH. It is stated that the DCI format is constituted by atleast one piece of DCI.

The terminal device 2 monitors PDCCHs in a CSS and/or a USS of a PDCCHregion, and detects a PDCCH of the terminal device 2.

An RNTI allocated to the terminal device 2 by the base station apparatus1 is used in transmitting downlink control information (transmission onthe PDCCH). Specifically, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) parity bit isadded to a DCI format (which may be downlink control information), andafter addition is performed, the CRC parity bit is scrambled by usingthe RNTI.

The terminal device 2 attempts to decode a DCI format to which the CRCparity bit scrambled by using the RNTI is added, and detects a DCIformat of which the CRC is determined to succeed, as the DCI format ofthe terminal device 2 (such a process is also referred to blinddecoding). That is, the terminal device 2 attempts to decode a PDCCH inaccordance with the CRC scrambled by using the RNTI, and detects a PDCCHof which the CRC is determined to succeed, as the PDCCH of the terminaldevice 2.

Here, the RNTI includes a cell-radio network temporary identifier(C-RNTI). The C-RNTI is a unique identifier used for RRC connection andidentification of scheduling. The C-RNTI is used for uni-casttransmission which is dynamically scheduled.

The RNTI includes a Temporary C-RNTI. The Temporary C-RNTI is anidentifier used for a random access procedure. For example, the terminaldevice 2 may decode the DCI format (for example, DCI format 0) to whichthe CRC scrambled by using the Temporary C-RNTI is added and which isassociated with an uplink, only in the CSS. The terminal device 2 mayattempt to decode the DCI format (for example, DCI format 1A) to whichthe CRC scrambled by using the Temporary C-RNTI is added and which isassociated with a downlink, in the CSS and the USS.

In a case where the DCI is transmitted in the CSS, the base stationapparatus 1 adds a CRC parity bit scrambled by using the TemporaryC-RNTI or the C-RNTI, to the DCI (DCI format). In a case where the DCIis transmitted in the USS, the base station apparatus 1 may add CRCscrambled by using the C-RNTI, to the DCI (DCI format).

A physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is mainly used for transmittinguplink data and uplink control information (UCI). The UCI transmitted ona PUSCH includes channel state information (CSI), and/or ACK/NACK. TheCSI transmitted on a PUSCH includes aperiodic CSI (A-CSI) and periodicCSI (P-CSI). Similarly to a case of the downlink, resource assignmentinformation of the physical uplink shared channel is indicated by aphysical downlink control channel. The PUSCH scheduled by a dynamicscheduling grant transmits the uplink data. The PUSCH scheduled by arandom access response grant transmits information (for example,identification information of the terminal device 2, and Message 3) ofthe base station apparatus 1, which is associated to random access.Parameters used for setting transmitted power for transmission on thePUSCH may be different in accordance with the type of the detectedgrant. Control data is transmitted in a form of channel qualityinformation (CQI and/or PMI), HARQ response information (HARQ-ACK,HARQ-ACK response), and RI. That is, the control data is transmitted ina form of uplink control information.

A physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is used for notification ofreception acknowledgement response (ACK/NACK: Acknowledgement/NegativeAcknowledgement) of downlink data transmitted on a physical downlinkshared channel, or notification of channel information (channel stateinformation) of a downlink, and is used for performing a schedulingrequest (SR) which is a resource assignment request (radio resourcerequest) of an uplink. Channel state information (CSI) includes achannel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), aprecoding type indicator (PTI), and a rank indicator (RI). Each of theindicators may be described as indication, but the use and the meaningthereof is the same. A format of the PUCCH may be switched in accordancewith the transmitted UCI. For example, in a case where the UCI isconstituted from HARQ response information and/or SR, the UCI may betransmitted on a PUCCH of a format 1/1a/1b/3 (PUCCH format 1/1a/1b/3).In a case where the UCI is constituted from the CSI, the UCI may betransmitted on a PUCCH of a format 2/2a/2b (PUCCH format 2/2a/2b). Inorder to avoid collision with a SRS, a shortened format obtained byperforming puncturing by one symbol, and a normal format obtained by notperforming puncturing by one symbol are provided in the PUCCH format1/1a/1b. For example, in a case where simultaneous transmission of aPUCCH and a SRS in the same subframe is available, the PUCCH format1/1a/1b in a SRS subframe is transmitted in the shortened format. In acase where simultaneous transmission of a PUCCH and a SRS in the samesubframe is not available, the PUCCH format 1/1a/1b in a SRS subframe istransmitted in the normal format. At this time, even when transmissionof the SRS occurs, the SRS may not be transmitted.

As a CSI report (CSI report), a periodic CSI report and an aperiodic CSIreport are provided. The periodic CSI report is for periodicallyreporting channel state information or for reporting channel stateinformation in a case where an event condition for triggering a CSIreport is satisfied. The aperiodic CSI report is for reporting thechannel state information in response to a CSI request included in theDCI format, in a case where the CSI report is requested. The periodicCSI report is performed on a PUCCH or a PUSCH. The aperiodic CSI reportis performed on a PUSCH. In a case where an instruction is performedbased on information (CSI request) included in the DCI format, theterminal device 2 may transmit CSI which is not followed by uplink data,on the PUSCH.

An uplink reference signal (UL-RS) includes a demodulation referencesignal (DMRS) and a sounding reference signal (SRS). The demodulationreference signal is used for the base station apparatus 1 demodulating aphysical uplink control channel PUCCH and/or a physical uplink sharedchannel PUSCH. The sounding reference signal is used for the basestation apparatus 1 mainly estimating a channel state of an uplink. Asthe sounding reference signal, a periodic sounding reference signal(P-SRS) and an aperiodic sounding reference signal (A-SRS) are provided.The periodic sounding reference signal is configured so as to performperiodic transmission by a higher layer. Transmission of the aperiodicsounding reference signal is required by a SRS request included in thedownlink control information format. The uplink reference signal may bealso referred to as an uplink pilot signal or an uplink pilot channel.

A sequence for the uplink reference signals may be generated based on apseudo-random sequence. The sequence for the uplink reference signalsmay be generated based on a Zadoff-Chu sequence. The sequence for theuplink reference signals may be generated based on a Gold sequence. Thesequence for the uplink reference signals may be generated based onsubspecies or modifications of the pseudo-random sequence, theZadoff-Chu sequence, or the Gold sequence.

The periodic sounding reference signal may be also referred to as aperiodic sounding reference signal and a Trigger Type 0 soundingreference signal (Trigger Type 0 SRS). The aperiodic sounding referencesignal may be also referred to as an aperiodic sounding reference signaland a Trigger Type 1 sounding reference signal (Trigger Type 1 SRS).

The A-SRS may be classified into a signal specialized for estimating achannel of an uplink (for example, which may be also referred to as aTrigger Type 1aSRS), and a signal used for causing the base stationapparatus 1 to measure a channel state (CSI, CQI, PMI, and RI) by usingchannel reciprocity in TDD (for example, which may be also referred toas a Trigger Type 1bSRS) in coordinated communication. The DMRS isconfigured corresponding to each of the PUSCH and the PUCCH. The DMRS istime-multiplexed in the same subframe as that of the PUSCH or the PUCCH,and is transmitted.

The time multiplexing method of the DMRS may be different in a case ofthe DMRS for the PUSCH and in a case of the DMRS for the PUCCH. Forexample, regarding the DMRS for the PUSCH, only one symbol is allocatedin one slot which is constituted by seven symbols. On the contrary,regarding the DMRS for the PUCCH, three symbols are allocated in oneslot which is constituted by seven symbols. Regarding the SRS,notification of various parameters (such as a bandwidth, a cyclic shift,and a transmission subframe) is performed by higher layer signaling.

Regarding the SRS, a subframe for transmitting the SRS is determinedbased on information regarding a transmission subframe which is includedin a configuration of the SRS and of which notification is performed bythe higher layer signaling. As the information regarding thetransmission subframe, information (shared information) configured so asto be specific to a cell, and information (dedicated information,individual information) configured so as to be specific to a terminaldevice are provided. The information configured so as to be specific toa cell includes information indicating a subframe in which the SRSshared by all terminal devices 2 in the cell is transmitted. Theinformation configured so as to be specific to a terminal deviceincludes information indicating periodicity and a subframe offset whichfunctions as a subset of the subframe configured so as to be specific tothe cell. The terminal device 2 may determine a subframe (which may bealso referred to as a SRS subframe and a SRS transmission subframe) fortransmitting the SRS, by using the pieces of information. When theterminal device 2 transmits a PUSCH in a subframe in which the SRSconfigured so as to be specific to a cell is transmitted, the terminaldevice 2 may puncture a time resource of the PUSCH by symbols fortransmitting the SRS, and may transmit the PUSCH by using the puncturedtime resource. Thus, it is possible to avoid collision of transmissionof the PUSCH with transmission of the SRS between terminal devices 2. Itis possible to prevent deterioration of characteristics of the terminaldevice 2 which transmits the PUSCH. It is possible to ensure channelestimation accuracy in the terminal device 2 which transmits the SRS.Here, the information configured so as to be specific to a terminaldevice may be independently configured as the P-SRS and the A-SRS.

For example, in a case where the various parameters are configured bythe higher layer signaling, a first uplink reference signal isperiodically transmitted based on the configured transmission subframe.In a case where an instruction of a transmission request is performed byusing a field (SRS request) regarding a transmission request of a seconduplink reference signal included in the downlink control informationformat, the second uplink reference signal is aperiodically transmitted.In a case where a SRS request included in certain downlink controlinformation format indicates being positive or indicates an index(value) corresponding to being positive, the terminal device 2 transmitsan A-SRS in a predetermined transmission subframe. In a case where thedetected SRS request indicates being negative or indicates an index(value) corresponding to being negative, the terminal device 2 does nottransmit in a predetermined subframe. Notification of the information(shared parameter, shared information) configured so as to be specificto a cell is performed by using system information or a dedicatedcontrol channel (DCCH). Notification of the information (dedicatedparameter, individual parameter, dedicated information, and individualinformation) configured so as to be specific to a terminal device isperformed by using a common control channel (CCCH). Notification of thepieces of information may be performed by using a RRC message.Notification of the RRC message may be performed by a higher layer.

A physical random access channel (PRACH) is a channel used fornotification of a preamble sequence. The physical random access channelhas a guard time. The preamble sequence is constituted such that 64types of sequences are prepared so as to express 6-bit information. Thephysical random access channel is used as an access unit of the terminaldevice 2 to the base station apparatus 1. The terminal device 2 uses thephysical random access channel in order to transmit a radio resourcerequest when the physical uplink control channel is not configured, inresponse to a scheduling request (SR), or in order to requesttransmission timing adjustment information (which is also referred totiming advance (TA)) to the base station apparatus 1. The transmissiontiming adjustment information is needed for causing an uplinktransmission timing to match with a reception timing window of the basestation apparatus.

Specifically, the terminal device 2 transmits a preamble sequence byusing a radio resource for the physical random access channel, which isconfigured by the base station apparatus 1. The terminal device 2 whichreceives the transmission timing adjustment information configures atransmission timing timer. The transmission timing timer tracks aneffective time of the transmission timing adjustment information whichis commonly configured by broadcast information (or which isindividually configured by the layer 3 message). The terminal device 2manages a state of the uplink in a manner that a state is set as atransmission timing adjusted state during the effective time of thetransmission timing timer (during tracking), and the state is set as atransmission timing non-adjusted state during a period which is out ofthe effective period (during stopping). The layer 3 message is a messageof a control-plane (C-plane), which is transmitted and received in aradio resource control (RRC) layer between the terminal device 2 and thebase station apparatus 1. The layer 3 message is used as having the samemeaning as RRC signaling or a RRC message. The RRC signaling may be alsoreferred to higher layer signaling or dedicated signaling.

The random access procedure includes two random access procedures of acontention based random access procedure and a non-contention basedrandom access procedure. The contention based random access procedure isa random access having a probability of collision occurring between aplurality of terminal devices 2.

The non-contention based random access procedure is a random access inwhich collision does not occur between the plurality of terminal devices2.

The non-contention based random access procedure is formed from threesteps. The terminal device 2 is notified of random access preambleassignment from the base station apparatus 1 by dedicated signaling ofthe downlink. At this time, in the random access preamble assignment,the base station apparatus 1 assigns a non-contention random accesspreamble to the terminal device 2. The random access preamble assignmentis transmitted for handover by a source base station apparatus (SourceeNB). The random access preamble assignment is subjected to signaling bya handover command which is by a target base station apparatus (TargeteNB), or is subjected to signaling by a PDCCH in a case of downlink dataarrival.

The terminal device 2 which receives the random access preambleassignment transmits a random access preamble (Message 1) on a RACH inan uplink. At this time, the terminal device 2 transmits the assignednon-contention random access preamble.

The base station apparatus 1 which receives the random access preambletransmits a random access response in the downlink data (DL-SCH:Downlink Shared Channel) to the terminal device 2. Informationtransmitted in the random access response includes a first uplink grant(random access response grant) and timing alignment information forhandover, and timing alignment information and a random access preambleidentifier for downlink data arrival. The downlink data may be alsoreferred to downlink shared channel data (DL-SCH data).

Here, the non-contention based random access procedure is applied tohandover, downlink data arrival, and positioning. The contention basedrandom access procedure is applied to an initial access from RRC_IDLE,reestablishment of RRC connection, handover, downlink data arrival, anduplink data arrival.

The random access procedure according to the embodiment is thecontention based random access procedure. An example of the contentionbased random access procedure will be described.

The terminal device 2 acquires System information block type 2 (SIB2)transmitted by the base station apparatus 1. The SIB2 corresponds to acommon configuration (common information) for all terminal devices 2 (ora plurality of terminal devices 2) in a cell. For example, the commonconfiguration includes a configuration of the PRACH.

The terminal device 2 randomly selects the number of the random accesspreamble. The terminal device 2 transmits a random access preamble(Message 1) of the selected number to the base station apparatus 1 byusing the PRACH. The base station apparatus 1 estimates a transmissiontiming of the uplink by using the random access preamble.

The base station apparatus 1 transmits a random access response (Message2) by using the PDSCH. The random access response includes plural piecesof information for the random access preamble detected by the basestation apparatus 1. For example, the plural pieces of informationinclude the number of the random access preamble, a Temporary C-RNTI, atiming advance command (TA command), and a random access response grant.

The terminal device 2 transmits (initially transmits) uplink data(Message 3) on the PUSCH scheduled by using the random access responsegrant. The uplink data includes an identifier (InitialUE-Identity orinformation indicating a C-RNTI) for identifying the terminal device 2.

In a case where decoding of uplink data fails, the base stationapparatus 1 performs an instruction of retransmission of the uplink databy using a DCI format to which a CRC parity bit scrambled by using theTemporary C-RNTI is added. In a case where the instruction ofretransmission of the uplink data is received by the DCI format, theterminal device 2 retransmits the same uplink data on a PUSCH scheduledby using the DCI format to which the CRC parity bit scrambled by usingthe Temporary C-RNTI is added.

In a case where decoding of uplink data fails, the base stationapparatus 1 may perform an instruction of retransmission of the uplinkdata by using a PHICH (NACK). In a case where the instruction ofretransmission of the uplink data is received by using the NACK, theterminal device 2 retransmits the same uplink data on the PUSCH.

The base station apparatus 1 succeeds decoding of the uplink data, andthus acquires the uplink data. Thus, it is possible to recognize whichterminal device 2 transmits the random access preamble and the uplinkdata. That is, before decoding of the uplink data is determined tosucceed, the base station apparatus 1 recognizing which terminal device2 transmits the random access preamble and the uplink data is notpossible.

In a case where Message 3 including InitialUE-Identity is received, thebase station apparatus 1 transmits a contention resolution identity(Message 4) generated based on the received InitialUE-Identity, to theterminal device 2 by using the PDSCH. In a case where the receivedcontention resolution identity matches with the transmittedInitialUE-Identity, the terminal device 2 (1) considers that contentionresolution of the random access preamble succeeds, (2) sets the value ofthe Temporary C-RNTI in the C-RNTI, (3) discards the Temporary C-RNTI,and (4) considers that the random access procedure is correctlycompleted.

In the base station apparatus 1 receives Message 3 including informationwhich indicates the C-RNTI, the base station apparatus 1 transmits a DCIformat (Message 4) to which a CRC parity bit scrambled by using thereceived C-RNTI is added, to the terminal device 2. In a case where theterminal device 2 decodes the DCI format to which the CRC parity bitscrambled by using the received C-RNTI is added, the terminal device 2(1) considers that contention resolution of the random access preamblesucceeds, (2) discards the Temporary C-RNTI, and (3) considers that therandom access procedure is correctly completed.

That is, the base station apparatus 1 performs scheduling of a PUSCH byusing the random access response grant as a part of the contention basedrandom access procedure.

The terminal device 2 transmits the uplink data (Message 3) on the PUSCHscheduled by using the random access response grant. That is, theterminal device 2 performs transmission on a PUSCH corresponding to therandom access response grant, as a part of the contention based randomaccess procedure.

The base station apparatus 1 performs scheduling of a PUSCH by using theDCI format to which a CRC scrambled by using the Temporary C-RNTI isadded, as a part of the contention based random access procedure. Thebase station apparatus 1 performs scheduling/instruction of transmissionon the PUSCH by using a PHICH (NACK), as a part of the contention basedrandom access procedure.

The terminal device 2 transmits (retransmits) the uplink data (Message3) on the PUSCH scheduled by using the DCI format to which a CRCscrambled by using the Temporary C-RNTI is added. The terminal device 2transmits (retransmits) the uplink data (Message 3) on the scheduledPUSCH, in response to reception of the PHICH. That is, the terminaldevice 2 performs transmission on the PUSCH corresponding to theretransmission of the same uplink data (transport block), as a part ofthe contention based random access procedure.

A constitution of one or a plurality of HARQ-ACK feedback bits {o^(ACK)_(c, 0), o^(ACK) _(c, 1), . . . , o^(ACK) _(c,OACKc-1)} will bedescribed below.

A HARQ-ACK bit is received from a higher layer in each subframe of eachcell. Each positive response (ACK) is encoded so as to have a bit valueof ‘1’. Each negative response (NACK) is encoded so as to have a bitvalue of ‘0’. In a case where a PUCCH format 3 in the higher layer isused for transmitting the configured HARQ-ACK feedback information,HARQ-ACK feedback is constituted by interconnection of HARQ-ACK bits ineach serving cell. In a cell in which Transmission mode 1, 2, 5, 6, or 7such as one code word transmission mode is configured, 1-bit HARQ-ACKinformation a_(k) is used in the cell. In a cell in which othertransmission modes, that is, two or more code word transmission mode areconfigured, 2-bit HARQ-ACK information a_(k), a_(k+1) is used in thecell. Here, a_(k) corresponds to code word 0, and a_(k+1) corresponds tocode word 1.

Regarding the HARQ-ACK feedback bit {o^(ACK) _(c, 0), o^(ACK) _(c, 1), .. . , o^(ACK) _(c,OACKc-1)}, an region is individually configured by aserving cell c.

HARQ-ACK feedback bits of serving cells c are arranged so as to be a bitstring of HARQ-ACK feedback bit, which is aggregated in all servingcells before coding is performed. The HARQ-ACK feedback bits aggregatedin all of the serving cells are assigned in an order from a small indexof the serving cell. A plurality of HARQ-ACK feedback bits for each ofthe serving cells is assigned in an order from a small value of the DAIincluded in the received downlink grant.

A HARQ process will be described.

Re-transmission processing of a PDSCH corresponds to asynchronous HARQ.A retransmission timing of the downlink subframe and a transmissiontiming of the PDSCH are independently configured. Thus, a HARQ processnumber is used for associating a PDSCH which is transmitted firstly,with a PDSCH which is retransmitted. The base station apparatus 1notifies the terminal device 2 of the HARQ process number by using theDCI which is included in the PDCCH and indicates the retransmittedPDSCH. The terminal device 2 performs HARQ combining of a PDSCH which isstored in a buffer and is associated with the HARQ process number, andthe retransmitted PDSCH, from the HARQ process number included in theDCI. As the HARQ combining, chase combining (CC), an incrementalredundancy (IR) method, or the like is used. The maximum number ofdownlink HARQ processes is 8 in FDD, and 15 in TDD. A bit field of theDCI for notification of the HARQ process number is configured inaccordance with the maximum number of the downlink HARQ processes, so asto be 3 bits in an FDD cell, and is 4 bits in a TDD cell.

Processing or a configuration relating to a PUCCH resource of HARQresponse information will be described below. The HARQ responseinformation includes response information for PDSCH transmission, whichis shown by detection of the control channel, and response informationfor the control channel, which includes control information indicating arelease (end) of the semi-persistent scheduling (SPS). The HARQ responseinformation corresponds to ACK indicating a normal reception, NACKindicating that normal reception is not possible, and/or DTX indicatingthat transmission is not performed (reception is not performed).

The terminal device 2 transmits the HARQ response information to thebase station apparatus 1 through the PUCCH and/or PUSCH. The basestation apparatus 1 receives the HARQ response information from theterminal device 2 through the PUCCH and/or PUSCH. Thus, the base stationapparatus 1 recognizes whether or not the terminal device 2 enablescorrect reception of the PDSCH or the control channel.

Next, descriptions regarding the PUCCH resource configured in the basestation apparatus 1 will be described. The HARQ response information isspread in a SC-FDMA sample region, by using pseudo constant-amplitudezero-autocorrelation (CAZAC) sequence which is cyclically shifted. TheHARQ response information is spread into 4 SC-FDMA symbols in a slot, byusing an orthogonal cover code (OCC) which has a code length of 4.Symbols spread by two codes are mapped on two RBs having differentfrequency. In this manner, the PUCCH resource is defined by threeelements of the cyclic shift quantity, an orthogonal code, and/or themapped RB. The cyclic shift in the SC-FDMA sample region may beexpressed by phase rotation which is equally increased in the frequencydomain.

An uplink control channel region (PUCCH region) used in transmission ofthe PUCCH is RB pairs of a predetermined number, and is constituted byusing RB pairs at both ends of an uplink system bandwidth. A physicalresource used in transmission of the PUCCH is constituted from two RBshaving different frequencies in a first slot and in a second slot. Thephysical resource used in transmission of the PUCCH is indicated by m(m=0, 1, 2, . . . ). One PUCCH is allocated to any physical resourceused in transmission of the PUCCH. Thus, since one PUCCH is transmittedby using resources having different frequency, a frequency diversityeffect is obtained.

The PUCCH resource (uplink control channel logical resource) which is aresource used for transmitting a PUCCH is defined by using an orthogonalcode, a cyclic shift quantity, and/or a frequency resource. For example,a PUCCH resource in a case where three orthogonal codes of OC0, OC1, andOC2, six cyclic shift quantities of CS0, CS2, CS4, CS6, CS8, and CS10,and m indicating the frequency resource are assumed as elementsconstituting the PUCCH resource may be used. A combination of orthogonalcodes, cyclic shift quantities, and m which correspond to an nPUCCHwhich is an index indicating the PUCCH resource (uplink control channellogical resource) is defined. The index indicating the PUCCH resource isalso referred to as a PUCCH resource number. The correspondence betweenthe nPUCCH and the combination of the orthogonal codes, cyclic shiftquantities, and m is an example, and other correspondences may beprovided. For example, a correspondence may be provided so as to causethe cyclic shift quantities to be changed between continuous nPUCCHs, ora correspondence may be provided so as to cause m to be changed betweencontinuous nPUCCHs. In addition, CS1, CS3, CS5, CS7, CS9, and CS11 whichare cyclic shift quantities different from CS0, CS2, CS4, CS6, CS8, andCS10 may be used. Here, a case in which the value of m is equal to ormore than NF2 is described. The frequency resource having m which isless than NF2 means frequency resources of NF2 pieces, which arereserved in transmission of the PUCCH for performing feedback of thechannel state information.

Next, the transmission mode used in transmission of the HARQ responseinformation will be described. The HARQ response information definesvarious transmission modes (transmission methods). The transmission modeused in transmission of the HARQ response information is determined byinformation or a configuration specific to the base station apparatus 1,information or a configuration specific to the terminal device 2, and/orinformation regarding a PDCCH which corresponds to the HARQ responseinformation, a configuration of a higher layer, and the like. Thetransmission mode used in transmission of the HARQ response informationcorresponds to HARQ response information bundling (HARQ-ACK bundling),and HARQ response information multiplexing (HARQ-ACK multiplexing).

Plural pieces of HARQ response information may be transmitted in acertain uplink subframe. The number of pieces of HARQ responseinformation transmitted in the certain uplink subframe is determined bythe number of code words (transport blocks) transmitted on one PDSCH, asubframe configuration, and/or a configuration of carrier aggregation.For example, one PDSCH may transmit two code words which are themaximum, through Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) transmission, and HARQresponse information is generated with respect to each of the codewords. For example, in TDD, the type of a subframe is determined basedon the subframe configuration. Thus, in a case where HARQ responseinformation in response to transmission of PDSCHs in a plurality ofdownlink subframes is transmitted in a certain uplink subframe, pluralpieces of HARQ response information corresponding to code words of thePDSCHs in the downlink subframes are generated. For example, in a casewhere carrier aggregation by a plurality of cells is configured, pluralpieces of HARQ response information corresponding to code words ofPDSCHs in the cells are generated.

In a case where plural pieces of HARQ response information aretransmitted in a certain uplink subframe, the pieces of HARQ responseinformation are transmitted by using HARQ response information bundlingand/or HARQ response information multiplexing.

In the HARQ response information bundling, a logical AND operation isperformed on a plural pieces of HARQ response information. The HARQresponse information bundling may be performed in various units. Forexample, the HARQ response information bundling is performed on all codewords in a plurality of downlink subframes. The HARQ responseinformation bundling is performed on all code words in one downlinksubframe. Particularly, an operation in which the HARQ responseinformation bundling is performed on all code words in one downlinksubframe in one serving cell is also referred to spatial HARQ responseinformation bundling. The HARQ response information bundling allows theinformation quantity of the HARQ response information to be reduced. Inthe HARQ response information multiplexing, multiplexing is performed onplural pieces of HARQ response information. Information subjected to theHARQ response information bundling may be subjected to multiplexing. Inthe following descriptions, information subjected to the HARQ responseinformation bundling is also simply referred to HARQ responseinformation.

A PUCCH for transmitting the HARQ response information may define pluraltypes of formats. As a format of the PUCCH for transmitting the HARQresponse information, PUCCH format 1a, PUCCH format 1b, PUCCH format 1bfor selecting a channel (PUCCH 1b with channel selection), PUCCH format3, and the like are provided. The transmission mode used in transmissionof the HARQ response information also includes the PUCCH format to betransmitted.

The PUCCH format 1a is a PUCCH format used for transmitting 1-bit HARQresponse information. In a case where the HARQ response information istransmitted in the PUCCH format 1a, one PUCCH resource is assigned, andthe HARQ response information is transmitted by using the assigned PUCCHresource.

The PUCCH format 1b is a PUCCH format used for transmitting 2-bit HARQresponse information. In a case where the HARQ response information istransmitted in the PUCCH format 1b, one PUCCH resource is assigned, andthe HARQ response information is transmitted by using the assigned PUCCHresource.

The PUCCH format 1b for performing channel selection is a PUCCH formatused for transmitting 2 pieces, 3 pieces, or 4 pieces of HARQ responseinformation. Regarding the PUCCH format used for transmitting 2 pieces,3 pieces, or 4 pieces of HARQ response information, 2, 3, or 4 PUCCHresources (channels) are configured. In the channel selection, any of aplurality of configured PUCCH resources is selected and the selectedPUCCH resource is used as a portion of information. 2-bit informationwhich can be transmitted by using the selected PUCCH resource is alsoused as a portion of the information. Since the 2-bit information issubjected to QPSK modulation, the 2-bit information is transmitted asone symbol. That is, in the PUCCH format 1b for performing the channelselection, 2 pieces, 3 pieces, or 4 pieces of HARQ response informationare transmitted by using a combination of a PUCCH resource selected froma plurality of configured PUCCH resources, and 2-bit information whichcan be transmitted by using the selected PUCCH resource. The combinationand each piece of the HARQ response information are defined in advance.The HARQ response information corresponds to ACK, NACK, DTX, orNACK/DTX. The NACK/DTX indicates NACK or DTX. For example, in a casewhere carrier aggregation is not configured, 2 pieces, 3 pieces, or 4pieces of HARQ response information correspond to HARQ responseinformation in response to PDSCH transmission in which transmission isperformed in 2, 3, or 4 downlink subframes.

The PUCCH format 3 is a PUCCH format used for transmitting HARQ responseinformation which has 20 bit as the maximum. One PUCCH resource isconfigured in the PUCCH format 3. The one PUCCH resource in the PUCCHformat 3 is for transmitting the HARQ response information which has 20bit as the maximum. The PUCCH resource in the PUCCH formats 1a/1b andthe PUCCH resource in the PUCCH format 3 are independent. For example,the base station apparatus 1 preferably performs configuring so as toconstitute the PUCCH resource in the PUCCH formats 1a/1b and the PUCCHresource in the PUCCH format 3 by using different physical resources(that is, two RBs for constituting a physical resource used intransmission of a PUCCH).

In a case where HARQ response information is transmitted on a PUCCH, theHARQ response information is mapped and transmitted on the PUCCHresource which is explicitly and/or implicitly configured. The PUCCHresource used in transmission of the HARQ response information isuniquely determined by information or a configuration specific to thebase station apparatus 1, information or a configuration specific to theterminal device 2, and/or information regarding a PDCCH or an EPDCCHwhich corresponds to the HARQ response information, and the like. Forexample, a PUCCH resource number indicating PUCCH resources used intransmission of the HARQ response information is calculated by usingparameters included in the pieces of information and/or parametersobtained from the pieces of information, and a predetermined method(operation).

In a general FDD cell (for example, FDD cell in which carrieraggregation is not performed, or FDD cell in which carrier aggregationis performed only with another FDD cell), HARQ response informationwhich corresponds to a PDSCH transmitted in a downlink componentcarrier, or a PDCCH indicating a release of downlink semi-persistentscheduling (SPS) (SPS release) in a subframe (n−4) is transmitted by anuplink component carrier corresponding to the downlink componentcarrier. The HARQ response information corresponding to the PDSCHallocated in a subframe n is transmitted by using a PUCCH/PUSCHallocated in a subframe (n+4). That is, after the terminal device 2receives a PDSCH in a certain subframe, the terminal device 2 transmitsHARQ response information corresponding to the PDSCH, to the basestation by using a PUCCH/PUSCH after four subframes. Thus, the basestation can receive the HARQ response information which has beentransmitted corresponding to the PDSCH, from the terminal device 2, anddetermine whether or not the PDSCH is retransmitted based on informationof ACK/NACK.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where one serving cell is configuredfor the terminal device 2, or in a case where serving cells of which thenumber is more than one are configured for the terminal device 2, andthe primary cell is the FDD cell, when PDSCH transmission in which theterminal device 2 has been set as a target in the subframe (n−4), andthe HARQ response information is given is detected, the terminal device2 transmits the HARQ response information in the subframe n.

In a general TDD cell (for example, TDD cell in which carrieraggregation is not performed, or TDD cell in which carrier aggregationis performed only with another TDD cell), it is not necessary that anuplink subframe after four subframes from a downlink subframe isconfigured. Thus, an uplink subframe corresponding to the downlinksubframe is defined. In an example of details of HARQ responseinformation multiplexing in PDSCH transmission, which is shown by aPDCCH or an EPDCCH, a downlink association set illustrated in FIG. 6 isused. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an index K: {k₀,k₁, . . . , k_(M-1)} of the downlink association set. HARQ responseinformation included in a PUCCH/PUSCH allocated in the subframe ncorresponds to a PDSCH shown by detecting a PDCCH associated in asubframe (n−k_(i)), or to a PDCCH indicating a release of the downlinkSPS in the subframe (n−k_(i)). In other words, HARQ response informationwhich corresponds to the PDSCH shown in the subframe n by detecting aPDCCH, or to the PDCCH indicating a release of the downlink SPS isincluded in a PUCCH/PUSCH in a subframe (n+k_(i)), and is transmitted.

That is, in TDD cells, in a case where one serving cell is configuredfor the terminal device 2, or in a case where serving cells of which thenumber is more than one are configured for the terminal device 2, andall UL-DL configurations are the same, when PDSCH transmission in whichthe terminal device 2 has been set as a target in the subframe (n−k),and the HARQ response information is given is detected, the terminaldevice 2 transmits the HARQ response information in the uplink subframen. Here, k belongs to a set K (k∈K), and the set K is defined by usingthe figure in FIG. 6.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of HARQ response informationmultiplexing in PDSCH transmission shown by the PDCCH in a TDD cell.FIG. 4 illustrates PUCCH resources used for HARQ response informationmultiplexing in a case where HARQ response information is transmitted infour downlink subframes (4 bits) by using the PUCCH format 1b forperforming channel selection. FIG. 4 illustrates a PUCCH resourceextracted from a subframe (n−k) in a certain uplink subframe n. Here,the subframe (n−k_(i)) indicates a subframe ahead of k_(i) pieces fromthe subframe n. If it is assumed that the number of subframes (bits) forperforming the HARQ response information multiplexing is M, i is aninteger which is equal to or more than 0 and equal to or less than(M−1). That is, in FIG. 4, in the subframe n, 4-bit HARQ responseinformation is transmitted by using PUCCH resources extracted from fourdownlink subframes (subframe (n−k₀), subframe (n−k₁), subframe (n−k₂),and subframe n−k₃)). The value of M, and the value of k_(i) are definedby the number of the subframe n and the subframe configuration. Here, atime window including a set of subframes expressed by (n−k) (kcorresponds to each k_(i) included in K) may be referred to as abundling window. The number of subframes in the bundling windowcorresponds to M, and the subframes in the bundling window meanssubframes from a subframe (n−k₀) to a subframe (n−k_(M-1)). The size(time length) of the bundling window may vary depending on the subframen having the corresponding uplink subframe. The size of the bundlingwindow may vary depending on the subframe constitution (UL/DLconfiguration) in TDD.

Regarding an FDD cell, if definition and modification is performed againsimilarly to HARQ response information multiplexing in PDSCHtransmission shown by the PDCCH in a TDD cell, rewriting as a downlinkassociation set K may be performed so as to cause the values of M in allsubframes n to be 1, to cause k₀ to be defined in all of the subframesn, and to cause k₀ in all of the subframes n to be 4.

The PUCCH resource used for the HARQ response information in PDSCHtransmission shown by the PDCCH is determined based on at least aparameter N⁽¹⁾ _(PUCCH) configured in a higher layer, and the first CCEnumber n_(CCE) used for transmitting the PDCCH associated with the HARQresponse information. As illustrated in FIG. 4, indices of PUCCHresources used for the HARQ response information in PDSCH transmissionshown by the PDCCH are given in order of OFDM symbols on which n_(CCE)is mapped in subframes thereof. That is, block interleaving is performedbetween subframes which are subjected to HARQ response informationmultiplexing. Thus, since the number of OFDM symbols constituting aPDCCH region which is a region on which the PDCCH may be mapped may beset for each subframe, a probability of the PUCCH resources beingintegrated in front becomes high. Accordingly, the PUCCH resources usedfor the HARQ response information are efficiently used.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of HARQ response informationmultiplexing in PDSCH transmission shown by an EPDCCH. FIG. 5illustrates PUCCH resources used for HARQ response informationmultiplexing in a case where HARQ response information is transmitted infour downlink subframes (4 bits) by using the PUCCH format 1b forperforming channel selection. FIG. 5 illustrates a PUCCH resourceextracted from a subframe (n−k_(i)) in a certain uplink subframe n.Here, the subframe (n−k_(i)) indicates a subframe ahead of k_(i) piecesfrom the subframe n. If it is assumed that the number of subframes(bits) for performing the HARQ response information multiplexing is M, iis an integer which is equal to or more than 0 and equal to or less than(M−1). That is, in FIG. 5, in the subframe n, 4-bit HARQ responseinformation is transmitted by using PUCCH resources extracted from fourdownlink subframes (subframe (n−k₀), subframe (n−k₁), subframe (n−k₂),and subframe n−k₃)). The value of M, and the value of k_(i) are definedby the number of the subframe n and the subframe configuration.

The PUCCH resource used for the HARQ response information in PDSCHtransmission shown by the EPDCCH is determined based on at least aparameter N^((e1)) _(PUCCH) configured in a higher layer, and the firstCCE number n_(ECCE) used for transmitting the EPDCCH associated with theHARQ response information. As illustrated in FIG. 5, indices of PUCCHresources used for the HARQ response information in PDSCH transmissionshown by the EPDCCH are given in order from an EPDCCH mapped on thesubframe (n−k₀).

In the following descriptions, details of the HARQ response informationmultiplexing in PDSCH transmission shown by the PDCCH or the EPDCCH willbe described.

In an example of the details of the HARQ response informationmultiplexing in PDSCH transmission shown by the PDCCH or the EPDCCH, adownlink association set illustrated in FIG. 6, and an operation ofPUCCH resources which are used in transmission of the HARQ responseinformation. The operation of PUCCH resources is illustrated in FIG. 7.FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an index K: {k₀, k₁, . .. , k_(M-1)} of the downlink association set. FIG. 7 is a diagramillustrating an example of an expression for applying PUCCH resourcesused in transmission of the HARQ response information.

In a case where the HARQ response information multiplexing is performedin the subframe n having M which is more than 1, n⁽¹⁾ _(PUCCH,i)indicating a PUCCH resource extracted from the subframe (n−k_(i)), andHARQ-ACK(i) indicating a response of ACK/NACK/DTX from the subframe(n−k₁) will be described as follows. M is the number of elements in theset K defined in FIG. 6. M is the number obtained based on the HARQresponse information which is subjected to multiplexing. k_(i) isincluded in the set K, and i is from 0 to (M−1). For example, in a casewhere an uplink-downlink configuration is 2, the set K in the subframe 2is {8, 7, 4, 6}, M is 4, k₀ is 8, k₁ is 7, k₂ is 4, and k₃ is 6.

PUCCH resources for a PDCCH which indicates PDSCH transmission shown bydetecting the PDCCH associated in the subframe (n−k_(i)) or release ofdownlink semi-persistent scheduling (downlink SPS) (SPS release) in thesubframe (n−k_(i)) are given by the expression (a) in FIG. 7. n_(CCE, i)is the number (index) of the first CCE used for transmitting the PDCCHassociated in the subframe (n−k_(i)), and N⁽¹⁾ _(PUCCH) is a parameterconfigured in the higher layer. N^(DL) _(RB) is the number of resourceblocks in a downlink, and N^(RB) _(sc) is the number of subcarriers pera resource block.

PUCCH resources for an EPDCCH which indicates PDSCH transmission shownby detecting the EPDCCH associated in the subframe (n−k_(i)) or releaseof downlink semi-persistent scheduling (downlink SPS) (SPS release) inthe subframe (n−k_(i)) are given by the expression (b-1) and theexpression (b-2) in FIG. 7. In a case where an EPDCCH set(EPDCCH-PRB-set) q is configured in distributed transmission, theexpression (b-1) in FIG. 7 is used for the PUCCH resources. In a casewhere the EPDCCH set (EPDCCH-PRB-set) q is configured in localizedtransmission, the expression (b-2) in FIG. 7 is used for the PUCCHresources. n_(ECCE, q) is the number (index) of the first CCE used fortransmission of DCI allocation which is associated in the subframe(n−k_(i)). That is, the number of the CCE is the smallest index of anECCE used for constituting the EPDCCH. N^((e1)) _(PUCCH, q) is aparameter in the EPDCCH set q, which is configured in the higher layer.N^(ECCE, q) _(RB) is the total number of resource blocks configured forthe EPDCCH set q in the subframe (n−k_(i)).

That is, M pieces of PUCCH resources are given in the subframe n. The Mpieces of PUCCH resources are used for transmitting a PUCCH having thePUCCH format 1b for performing channel selection. For example, in a casewhere an uplink-downlink configuration is 2, four PUCCH resources aregiven in the subframe 2. The four PUCCH resources are used fortransmitting a PUCCH having the PUCCH format 1b for performing channelselection.

Here, a subframe indicated by each set K in the downlink association setillustrated in FIG. 6 corresponds to a downlink subframe, a specialsubframe, and/or a flexible subframe. Thus, even in a case where theflexible subframe is configured in addition to the downlink subframe andthe special subframe, it is possible to efficiently transmit the HARQresponse information for the PDSCH, which is transmitted in the downlinksubframe, the special subframe, and/or the flexible subframe.

In the following descriptions, an uplink reference UL-DL configurationand a downlink reference UL-DL configuration will be described.

If the base station apparatus 1 or the terminal device 2 satisfies acertain condition, one of the base station apparatus 1 and the terminaldevice 2 may perform configuring as an uplink reference UL-DLconfiguration, and another may perform configuring as a downlinkreference UL-DL configuration. For example, the terminal device 2 mayreceive two pieces of information regarding a first configuration, andinformation regarding a second configuration, and may performconfiguring of an uplink reference UL-DL configuration and a downlinkreference UL-DL configuration. A DCI format associated with an uplink(for example, DCI format 0/4) may be transmitted in a downlink subframeconfigured in the uplink reference UL-DL configuration.

The uplink reference UL-DL configuration and the downlink referenceUL-DL configuration may be configured by using the same table. In a casewhere indices of the uplink reference UL-DL configuration and thedownlink reference UL-DL configuration are configured based on the sametable, the uplink reference UL-DL configuration and the downlinkreference UL-DL configuration are preferably configured so as to haveindices different from each other. That is, regarding the uplinkreference UL-DL configuration and the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration, subframe patterns different from each other arepreferably configured.

The uplink reference UL-DL configuration and the downlink referenceUL-DL configuration for one serving cell may be independentlyconfigured. The uplink reference UL-DL configuration and the downlinkreference UL-DL configuration may be individually configured for oneserving cell in self-scheduling and cross carrier scheduling. In theself-scheduling, scheduling is performed on a PDSCH/PUSCH of a servingcell from the PDCCH/EPDCCH of the serving cell. In the cross carrierscheduling, scheduling is performed on a PDSCH/PUSCH of the serving cellfrom a PDCCH/EPDCCH of a serving cell different from the above servingcell.

In a case where a plurality of TDD UL/DL configurations are shown forone serving cell (primary cell, secondary cell), any one of the TDDUL/DL configurations may be configured as an uplink reference UL-DLconfiguration, and another one TDD UL/DL configuration may be configuredas a downlink reference UL-DL configuration, in accordance withconditions. The uplink reference UL-DL configuration may be at leastused for determining a correspondence between a subframe in which aphysical downlink control channel is allocated, and a subframe in whicha physical uplink shared channel corresponding to a physical downlinkcontrol channel is allocated. The uplink reference UL-DL configurationmay be different from an actual transmission direction of a signal (thatis, uplink or downlink). The downlink reference UL-DL configuration maybe at least used for determining a correspondence between a subframe inwhich a physical downlink shared channel is allocated, and a subframe inwhich HARQ response information corresponding to the physical downlinkshared channel is transmitted. The downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration may be different from an actual transmission direction ofa signal (that is, uplink or downlink). That is, the uplink referenceUL-DL configuration is used for specifying (selecting, determining) acorrespondence between a subframe n in which a PDCCH/EPDCCH/PHICH isallocated, and a subframe (n+k) in which a PUSCH corresponding to thePDCCH/EPDCCH/PHICH is allocated. In a case where one primary cell isconfigured, or in a case where one primary cell and one secondary cellare configured, and an uplink reference UL-DL configuration for theprimary cell and an uplink reference UL-DL configuration for thesecondary cell are the same, the corresponding uplink reference UL-DLconfiguration in each of the two serving cells is used for determining acorrespondence between a subframe in which a PDCCH/EPDCCH/PHICH isallocated, and a subframe in which a PUSCH corresponding to thePDCCH/EPDCCH/PHICH is allocated. The downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration is used for specifying (selecting, determining) acorrespondence between a subframe n in which a PDSCH is allocated, and asubframe (n+k) in which HARQ response information corresponding to thePDSCH is transmitted. In a case where one primary cell is configured, orin a case where one primary cell and one secondary cell are configured,and a downlink reference UL-DL configuration for the primary cell and adownlink reference UL-DL configuration for the secondary cell are thesame, the corresponding downlink reference UL-DL configuration in eachof the two serving cells is used for specifying (selecting, determining)a correspondence between a subframe n in which a PDSCH is allocated, anda subframe (n+k) in which HARQ response information corresponding to thePDSCH is transmitted.

As an example in which the downlink reference UL-DL configuration isconfigured in the terminal device 2, there is a case where two or moreTDD cells are configured in the terminal device 2, and UL-DLconfigurations of at least two serving cells are configured so as to bedifferent from each other. At this time, the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration of a serving cell is determined from a combination ofeither of the primary cell and the secondary cell, and a set numberdefined in FIG. 10, and a pair of a primary cell UL-DL configuration anda secondary cell UL-DL configuration. At this time, HARQ responseinformation included in the PUCCH/PUSCH which is allocated in thesubframe n corresponds to a PDSCH shown by detecting a PDCCH associatedin a subframe (n−k), or to a PDCCH indicating a release of downlink SPSin the subframe (n−k). Here, regarding k, correlation is performed byusing a value defined in FIG. 6, from the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration.

That is, in TDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, at least twoserving cells have UL-DL configurations different from each other, andthe above serving cell is the primary cell, the UL-DL configuration ofthe primary cell is a downlink reference UL-DL configuration of theabove serving cell.

That is, in TDD cells, in any of the following cases, the downlinkreference UL-DL configuration of the above serving cell is defined inFIG. 10. The following cases are a case where serving cells of which thenumber is more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, atleast two serving cells have UL-DL configurations different from eachother, the above serving cell is the secondary cell, and thus a pair ofthe primary cell UL-DL configuration and the secondary cell UL-DLconfiguration belongs to a set 1 in FIG. 10; a case where monitoring ofa PDCCH/EPDCCH from other serving cells is not configured for schedulingof the above serving cell, in the terminal device 2, and the pair of theprimary cell UL-DL configuration and the secondary cell UL-DLconfiguration belongs to a set 2 or a set 3 in FIG. 10; and a case wheremonitoring of a PDCCH/EPDCCH from other serving cells is configured forscheduling of the above serving cell, in the terminal device 2, and thepair of the primary cell UL-DL configuration and the secondary cellUL-DL configuration belongs to a set 4 or a set 5 in FIG. 10.

That is, in TDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, at least twoserving cells have UL-DL configurations different from each other, andthe downlink reference UL-DL configuration of at least one serving cellis TDD UL-DL configuration 5, the terminal device 2 does not expect thatserving cells of which the number is more than 2 are configured.

That is, in TDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured for the terminal device 2, and at leasttwo serving cells have UL-DL configurations different from each other,when PDSCH transmission in which the terminal device 2 has been set as atarget for a serving cell c in the subframe (n−k), and the HARQ responseinformation is given is detected, the terminal device 2 transmits theHARQ response information in the uplink subframe n. Here, k belongs to aset K_(c) (k∈K_(c)), and the set K is defined by using the figure inFIG. 6. Here, the set K_(c) includes the value of k belonging to the setK, so as to be for the subframe (n−k) corresponding to a downlinksubframe or a special subframe for the serving cell c. Here, the UL-DLconfiguration in FIG. 6 refers to a downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration of this FDD cell.

In the following descriptions, a transmission timing of HARQ responseinformation in a state of assuming a case where a plurality of cells towhich different frame structure types are applied are aggregated.

Here, integration of the plurality of cells to which different framestructure types are applied includes, for example, a case where a cellin which a frame structure type is Type 1 (FDD), and a cell in which aframe structure type is Type 2 (TDD) are aggregated. The integration ofthe plurality of cells to which different frame structure types areapplied includes, for example, a case where a plurality of cells inwhich a frame structure type is Type 1 (FDD), and a plurality of cellsin which a frame structure type is Type 2 (TDD) are aggregated. That is,the integration of the plurality of cells to which different framestructure types are applied includes, for example, a case where one ormore cells in which a frame structure type is Type 1 (FDD), and one ormore cells in which a frame structure type is Type 2 (TDD) areaggregated. The descriptions for the frame structure type are anexample, and may be similarly applied to a case where Type 3 or Type 4is defined. A cell which is the primary cell of TDD is referred to as aTDD primary cell below. A cell which is the secondary cell of TDD isreferred to as a TDD secondary cell below. A cell which is the primarycell of FDD is referred to as an FDD primary cell below. A cell which isthe secondary cell of FDD is referred to as an FDD secondary cell below.In a case where carrier aggregation is configured, the terminal device 2transmits a PUCCH in the primary cell, and the base station apparatus 1receives the PUCCH from the terminal device 2 in the primary cell. Theterminal device 2 is not required for transmitting the PUCCH in thesecondary cell, and the base station apparatus 1 is not required forreceiving the PUCCH from the terminal device 2 in the secondary cell.

Here, the uplink reference UL-DL configuration or the downlink referenceUL-DL configuration may be also configured for an FDD cell. In addition,only the uplink reference UL-DL configuration may be configured for theFDD cell, and only the downlink reference UL-DL configuration may beconfigured for the FDD cell. The uplink reference UL-DL configurationand the downlink reference UL-DL configuration are individuallyconfigured by a scheduling method (self-scheduling and cross carrierscheduling). For example, in a case of self-scheduling, the uplinkreference UL-DL configuration is not configured in an FDD cell. In acase of cross carrier scheduling, the uplink reference UL-DLconfiguration is configured in an FDD cell. In addition, configuring maybe performed depending on the type of a serving cell (primary cell,secondary cell) or a combination of integrations of serving cells. Forexample, in a case where configuring as an FDD primary cell is performedin the terminal device 2, the downlink reference UL-DL configuration isnot configured in the FDD primary cell. In a case where configuring asan FDD secondary cell is performed in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, the downlink reference UL-DL configurationis configured in the FDD secondary cell.

In a case where an uplink reference UL-DL configuration is notconfigured in an FDD cell, the base station apparatus 1 performsscheduling of a PUSCH and transmission of a PHICH at a transmissiontiming in FDD. In a case where a downlink reference UL-DL configurationis not configured in an FDD cell, the base station apparatus 1 performsscheduling of a PDSCH at a transmission timing in FDD, and the terminaldevice 2 transmits HARQ response information corresponding to the PDSCHat the transmission timing in FDD.

An example of the transmission timing of the HARQ response informationin an FDD cell, in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cell will bedescribed.

Regarding all UL-DL configurations, an uplink subframe is configured inthe subframe 2. All pieces of HARQ response information corresponding toa PDSCH detected in an FDD secondary cell or a PDCCH indicating arelease of downlink SPS in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cellare transmitted at a timing for the subframe 2. That is, thetransmission timing of HARQ response information in an FDD secondarycell which performs carrier aggregation with a TDD primary cell causetransmission to be performed in accordance with TDD UL-DL configuration5.

That is, in a case where serving cells of which the number is more thanone are configured in the terminal device 2, and the primary cell is aTDD cell, the downlink reference UL-DL configuration of this FDD cell isTDD UL-DL configuration 5, and the terminal device 2 does not expectthat serving cells of which the number is more than two are configured.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, when PDSCH transmission in which theterminal device 2 has been set as a target in the subframe (n−k), andHARQ response information is given is detected, the terminal device 2transmits the HARQ response information in the uplink subframe n. Here,k belongs to the set K (k∈K), and the set K is defined by the figure inFIG. 6. Here, the UL-DL configuration in FIG. 6 refers to a downlinkreference UL-DL configuration of this FDD cell.

An example of a transmission timing of HARQ response information in anFDD cell, in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cell will bedescribed.

In the above-described example, the transmission timing of the HARQresponse information in a case of assuming that all TDD UL-DLconfigurations are used in the TDD primary cell is described, andconfiguring is performed in advance, at the transmission timing of theHARQ response information for TDD UL-DL configuration 5. Thetransmission timing of the HARQ response information may be set in ahigher layer. For example, in a case where a use of the TDD UL-DLconfiguration is limited to 0, 1, or 2, the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration may be set to be 2 by a higher layer. That is, thedownlink reference UL-DL configuration for determining the transmissiontiming of HARQ response information in an FDD secondary cell whichperforms carrier aggregation with a TDD primary cell is configured inthe higher layer.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, the downlink reference UL-DL configurationof this FDD cell is configured in the higher layer.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, the primarycell is a TDD cell, and thus at least one serving cell has the TDD UL-DLconfiguration 5, the terminal device 2 does not expect that servingcells of which the number is more than 2 are configured.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, when PDSCH transmission in which theterminal device 2 has been set as a target in the subframe (n−k), andHARQ response information is given is detected, the terminal device 2transmits the HARQ response information in the uplink subframe n. Here,k belongs to the set K (k∈K), and the set K is defined by the figure inFIG. 6. Here, the UL-DL configuration in FIG. 6 refers to a downlinkreference UL-DL configuration of this FDD cell.

A virtual TDD UL-DL configuration (TDD-FDD UL-DL configuration) from ahigher layer may be configured in an FDD cell, and the downlinkreference UL-DL configuration for the FDD cell may be configured basedon the virtual TDD UL-DL configuration. In this case, the downlinkreference UL-DL configuration of the FDD cell is determined based on apair of the TDD UL-DL configuration of the TDD primary cell, and thevirtual TDD UL-DL configuration of the FDD secondary cell, by using thefigure in FIG. 10.

An example of a transmission timing of HARQ response information in anFDD cell, in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cell will bedescribed.

HARQ response information corresponding to a PDSCH detected in an FDDsecondary cell or a PDCCH indicating a release of downlink SPS in a casemay be transmitted by using a PUCCH. The PUCCH is transmitted from anuplink subframe of the TDD primary cell. That is, a downlink referenceUL-DL configuration for determining a transmission timing of HARQresponse information of the FDD secondary cell which performs carrieraggregation with the TDD primary cell tracks the TDD UL-DL configurationof the primary cell.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, the downlink reference UL-DL configurationof this FDD cell corresponds to the TDD UL-DL configuration of theprimary cell.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, the primarycell is a TDD cell, and thus at least one serving cell has the TDD UL-DLconfiguration 5, the terminal device 2 does not expect that servingcells of which the number is more than 2 are configured.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, when PDSCH transmission in which theterminal device 2 has been set as a target in the subframe (n−k), andHARQ response information is given is detected, the terminal device 2transmits the HARQ response information in the uplink subframe n. Here,k belongs to the set K (k∈K), and the set K is defined by the figure inFIG. 6. Here, the UL-DL configuration in FIG. 6 refers to a downlinkreference UL-DL configuration of this FDD cell.

An example of a transmission timing of HARQ response information in anFDD cell, in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cell will bedescribed.

In a case where the HARQ response information of the FDD cell istransmitted in accordance with the TDD UL-DL configuration of the TDDprimary cell, since the TDD primary cell may not be correlated in asubframe functioning as an uplink subframe, scheduling of the PDSCH orthe PDCCH indicating the release of downlink SPS is not performed in thesubframe even in the FDD secondary cell. A table in which the PDSCH, thePDCCH indicating the release of downlink SPS, and the transmissiontiming of the HARQ response information are correlated with each otheris also used in the subframe which functions as the uplink subframe.FIGS. 9 and 15 illustrate an example of the transmission timing of theHARQ response information, which corresponds to each of a PDSCH of theFDD secondary cell and a PDCCH indicating the release of downlink SPS,in a case of the TDD primary cell. It is possible to also transmit thePDSCH and the PDCCH indicating the release of downlink SPS, in the FDDsecondary cell even in a subframe which functions as an uplink subframein the TDD primary cell by using the transmission timing defined in FIG.9 or 15. In addition, the HARQ response information corresponding to thePDSCH and the PDCCH is transmitted in the uplink subframe of the TDDprimary cell. That is, the downlink reference UL-DL configuration fordetermining the transmission timing of the HARQ response information inan FDD cell tracks the TDD UL-DL configuration of the primary cell, andthe transmission timing is determined by using the table of thetransmission timing of the HARQ response information for the FDDsecondary cell which performs the carrier aggregation with the TDDprimary cell.

A table in FIG. 9 has small delay in feedback of the HARQ responseinformation, in comparison to a table in FIG. 15. Thus, throughputperformance by HARQ becomes good. The table in FIG. 15 is defined so asto cause the number of Ms of which the value is the maximum, in the TDDUL-DL configuration to be smaller than that in the table in FIG. 9.Accordingly, since the value of M is equal to or less than 4 when theTDD UL-DL configuration is not 2, 4, and 5, feedback of the HARQresponse information may be performed by using the PUCCH format 1b whenthe TDD UL-DL configuration is 0, 1, 3, and 6.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, the downlink reference UL-DL configurationof this FDD cell corresponds to the TDD UL-DL configuration of theprimary cell.

In FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the number is morethan one are configured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is aTDD cell, and thus at least one serving cell has TDD UL-DL configuration5, the terminal device 2 does not expect that serving cells of which thenumber is more than 2 are configured.

In FDD cell, in a case where serving cells of which the number is morethan one are configured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is aTDD cell, when PDSCH transmission in which the terminal device 2 hasbeen set as a target in the subframe (n−k), and the HARQ responseinformation is given is detected, the terminal device 2 transmits theHARQ response information in the uplink subframe n. Here, k belongs to aset K (k∈K), and the set K is defined by using the figure in FIG. 9.Here, the UL-DL configuration in FIG. 9 refers to the downlink referenceUL-DL configuration of this FDD cell.

The downlink reference UL-DL configuration of this FDD cell may beconfigured in a higher layer.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, the downlink reference UL-DL configurationof this FDD cell may be configured in a higher layer.

A table in FIG. 11 may be used instead of the table in FIG. 9 or 15.FIG. 11 illustrates an example of the transmission timing of HARQresponse information which corresponds to each of the PDSCH of the FDDsecondary cell and the PDCCH indicating the release of downlink SPS, ina case of the TDD primary cell. In the table in FIG. 11, thetransmission timing of HARQ response information for a subframe whichfunctions as an uplink subframe in the TDD primary cell is defined inTDD UL-DL configurations 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. In TDD UL-DLconfiguration 5, the transmission timing of HARQ response informationfor a subframe which functions as an uplink subframe in the TDD primarycell is not defined. It is possible to perform configuring so as tocause the maximum number of downlink HARQ processes to be equal to orless than 16, by using this table. The TDD UL-DL configuration may be adownlink reference UL-DL configuration.

In a case where a set K of TDD UL-DL configuration 5 is configured byusing the transmission timing which is defined in FIG. 9 or 15, the basestation apparatus 1 may perform scheduling so as to limit the number oftimes of transmitting a PDSCH in one radio frame to 9 in a certain cell.The terminal device 2 does not expect reception of PDSCHs in subframesof which the number is equal to or more than 10, in one radio frame in acertain cell. Thus, it is possible to perform communication in a statewhere the maximum number of downlink HARQ processes is equal to or lessthan 16.

An example of the transmission timing of the HARQ response informationin an FDD cell, in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cell will bedescribed.

The maximum number of downlink HARQ processes may be required to beequal to or more than 17 at the transmission timing defined in FIG. 9 or15. For example, TDD UL-DL configuration 5 in FIG. 9 needs to cause themaximum number of downlink HARQ processes to be 19. In a case where themaximum number of downlink HARQ processes exceeds a range of 17 or more,a bit field having 5 bits or more is required for the DCI for performingnotification of a HARQ process number. Thus, a transmission timingdefined in the set K in which the maximum number of downlink HARQprocesses is not more than 17 is used. For example, TDD UL-DLconfigurations 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 use the set K defined in the tablefor the transmission timing, in FIG. 9 or 15, and TDD UL-DLconfiguration 5 uses the set K defined in the table for the transmissiontiming, in FIG. 6. Thus, it is possible to set the maximum number ofdownlink HARQ processes to be equal to or less than 16.

That is, in FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, the downlink reference UL-DL configurationof this FDD cell is a TDD UL-DL configuration of the primary cell.

In FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the number is morethan one are configured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is aTDD cell, and thus at least one serving cell has the TDD UL-DLconfiguration 5, the terminal device 2 does not expect that servingcells of which the number is more than 2 are configured. In addition, ina case where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is a TDD cell, atleast one serving cell is an FDD cell, and thus at least one servingcell has TDD UL-DL configuration 2 or 4, the terminal device 2 does notexpect that serving cells of which the number is more than 4 areconfigured.

In FDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the number is morethan one are configured in the terminal device 2, and the primary cellis a TDD cell, when PDSCH transmission in which the terminal device 2has been set as a target in the subframe (n−k), and HARQ responseinformation is given is detected, the terminal device 2 transmits theHARQ response information in the uplink subframe n. Here, k belongs tothe set K (k∈K), and the set K is defined by the table in FIG. 6 or 9.Here, in a case where the downlink reference UL-DL configuration of thisFDD cell is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, referring to the UL-DL configurationin FIG. 9 is performed. Here, referring to the UL-DL configuration inFIG. 6 is performed in a case where the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration of this FDD cell is 5.

In the following descriptions, the number of component carriers (CCs)which allows carrier aggregation in a case where the table of thedownlink association set which is different from that of the TDD primarycell is defined in the FDD secondary cell in a case where a plurality ofcells to which different frame structure types are applied areaggregated will be described.

In PUCCH format 3, HARQ response information having 20 bits to themaximum can be transmitted. In a case where carrier aggregation isperformed, spatial HARQ response information bundling is performed, andthe number of bits used for transmitting the HARQ response informationis compressed. However, in a case where the number of bits exceeds 20even when spatial HARQ response information bundling is performed,transmission of the HARQ response information is not possible. Forexample, in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cell, carrieraggregation is performed between an FDD cell and a TDD cell, the tablein FIG. 6 is applied to the primary cell, and the table in FIG. 9 isapplied to the secondary cell, in a case where the TDD UL-DLconfiguration of the TDD primary cell is 2, and the TDD UL-DLconfiguration of the FDD secondary cell is 2, the number of bits afterspatial HARQ response information bundling is performed on HARQ responseinformation corresponding to a PDCCH/EPDCCH indicating PUSCHtransmission or the release of downlink SPS is 9 to the maximum.However, in a case where four FDD cells in which the TDD UL-DLconfiguration is 2 are configured along with a TDD cell in which the TDDUL-DL configuration is 2, the number of bits after spatial HARQ responseinformation bundling is performed is 24 to the maximum, and this valueexceeds the number of bits allowing transmission of PUCCH format 3.Thus, the terminal device 2 does not enable transmission of the HARQresponse information by using PUCCH format 3.

Thus, the number of serving cells allowing carrier aggregation islimited depending on the TDD UL-DL configuration.

For example, in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cell, and thetable in FIG. 15 is applied to the FDD secondary cell, the base stationapparatus 1 does not configure a TDD primary cell and two or more FDDsecondary cells in the terminal device 2, in a case where the downlinkreference UL-DL configuration is 5 in at least one FDD cell. The basestation apparatus 1 does not configure a TDD primary cell and four ormore FDD secondary cells in the terminal device 2, in a case where thedownlink reference UL-DL configuration is 2 or 4 in at least one FDDcell.

In a case where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, and the primary cell is a TDD cell,at least one serving cell is an FDD cell, and thus at least one servingcell has the downlink reference UL-DL configuration 2 or 4, the terminaldevice 2 does not expect that serving cells of which the number is morethan four are configured. In a case where at least one serving cell hasthe TDD UL-DL configuration 5, the terminal device 2 does not expectthat serving cells of which the number is more than two are configured.

For example, in a case where the primary cell is a TDD cell, and thetable in FIG. 9 is applied to the FDD secondary cell, the base stationapparatus 1 does not configure two or more FDD secondary cells in theterminal device 2, in a case where the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration is 5 in a TDD primary cell and at least one FDD cell. Thebase station apparatus 1 does not configure a TDD primary cell and threeor more FDD secondary cells in the terminal device 2, in a case wherethe downlink reference UL-DL configuration is 3 or 4 in at least one FDDcell. The base station apparatus 1 does not configure a TDD primary celland four or more FDD secondary cells in the terminal device 2, in a casewhere the downlink reference UL-DL configuration is 2 in at least oneFDD cell.

In a case where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, and the primary cell is a TDD cell,at least one serving cell is an FDD cell, and thus at least one servingcell has the downlink reference UL-DL configuration 2, the terminaldevice 2 does not expect that serving cells of which the number is morethan four are configured. In a case where serving cells of which thenumber is more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is a TDD cell, at least one serving cell is an FDD cell,and thus at least one serving cell has the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration 3 or 4, the terminal device 2 does not expect that servingcells of which the number is more than three are configured. In a casewhere at least one serving cell has the TDD UL-DL configuration 5, theterminal device 2 does not expect that serving cells of which the numberis more than two are configured.

The number of serving cells allowing carrier aggregation may be limiteddepending on the maximum value of M in the TDD UL-DL configuration.

In a case where the maximum value of M in the TDD UL-DL configuration isequal to or more than 7, three or more serving cells are not configured.In a case where the maximum value of M in the TDD UL-DL configuration is6, four or more serving cells are not configured. In a case where themaximum value of M in the TDD UL-DL configuration is 5, five or moreserving cells are not configured.

In the following descriptions, supporting of PUCCH format 1b forperforming channel selection in a case where the table of the downlinkassociation set which is different from that of the TDD primary cell isdefined in the FDD secondary cell in a case where a plurality of cellsto which different frame structure types are applied are aggregated willbe described.

In a case where carrier aggregation between a TDD cell and an FDD cellis configured, and the primary cell is a TDD cell, and in a case wherethe maximum value of M in the TDD UL-DL configuration is equal to orless than 4, the HARQ response information is transmitted by using PUCCHformat 1b for performing channel selection or PUCCH format 3. In a casewhere the maximum value of M in the TDD UL-DL configuration is equal toor more than 5, the HARQ response information is transmitted only byusing PUCCH format 3.

For example, in a case where the downlink association set is defined inthe FDD secondary cell by using the table in FIG. 15, and in a casewhere the downlink reference UL-DL configuration is 2, 4, or 5, onlyPUCCH format 3 is supported, and PUCCH format 1b for performing channelselection is not supported.

In a case where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is a TDD cell, andthe downlink reference UL-DL configuration of at least one serving cellis 5, only PUCCH format 3 is supported for the serving cells of whichthe maximum number is 2. In a case where serving cells of which thenumber is more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, theprimary cell is a TDD cell, and the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration of at least one serving cell is 2 or 4, only PUCCH format3 is supported for the serving cells of which the maximum number is 4.In a case where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is a TDD cell, andthe downlink reference UL-DL configuration of at least one serving cellis 2, 4, and 5, PUCCH format 1b for performing channel selection is notsupported.

For example, in a case where the downlink association set is defined inthe FDD secondary cell by using the table in FIG. 9, and in a case wherethe downlink reference UL-DL configuration is 2, 3, 4, or 5, only PUCCHformat 3 is supported, and PUCCH format 1b for performing channelselection is not supported.

In a case where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is a TDD cell, andthe downlink reference UL-DL configuration of at least one serving cellis 5, only PUCCH format 3 is supported for the serving cells of whichthe maximum number is 2. In a case where serving cells of which thenumber is more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, theprimary cell is a TDD cell, and the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration of at least one serving cell is 3 or 4, only PUCCH format3 is supported for the serving cells of which the maximum number is 3.In a case where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is a TDD cell, andthe downlink reference UL-DL configuration of at least one serving cellis 2, only PUCCH format 3 is supported for the serving cells of whichthe maximum number is 4. In a case where serving cells of which thenumber is more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, theprimary cell is a TDD cell, and the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration of at least one serving cell is 2, 4, and 5, PUCCH format1b for performing channel selection is not supported.

Further, transmission of the PUCCH format may be switched for eachsubframe. For example, in a case where carrier aggregation between a TDDcell and an FDD cell is configured, and the primary cell is a TDD cell,and in a case where the maximum value of M is equal to or less than 4 inthe subframe n, the HARQ response information is transmitted by usingPUCCH format 1b for performing channel selection or PUCCH format 3. In acase where the value of M is equal to or more than 5 in the subframe n,the HARQ response information is transmitted only by using PUCCH format3.

For example, in a case where the downlink association set is defined inthe FDD secondary cell by using the table in FIG. 9, and the downlinkreference UL-DL configuration is 3, in the subframe 2, the HARQ responseinformation is transmitted only by using PUCCH format 3. In the subframe3 or 4, the HARQ response information is transmitted by using PUCCHformat 1b for performing channel selection or PUCCH format 3. In thesubframe 3 or 4, selection of where transmission is performed by usingPUCCH format 1b for performing channel selection or PUCCH format 3 isset in the higher layer. Regardless of setting of the higher layer,transmission by using PUCCH format 3 is configured in the subframe 2.

In a case where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is a TDD cell, andthe downlink reference UL-DL configuration of at least one serving cellis 5, only PUCCH format 3 is supported for the serving cells of whichthe maximum number is 2. In a case where serving cells of which thenumber is more than one are configured in the terminal device 2, theprimary cell is a TDD cell, and the downlink reference UL-DLconfiguration of at least one serving cell is 2, only PUCCH format 3 issupported for the serving cells of which the maximum number is 4. In acase where serving cells of which the number is more than one areconfigured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is a TDD cell, andthe downlink reference UL-DL configuration of at least one serving cellis 2 and 5, PUCCH format 1b for performing channel selection is notsupported. In a case where serving cells of which the number is morethan one are configured in the terminal device 2, the primary cell is aTDD cell, and the downlink reference UL-DL configuration of at least oneserving cell is 3 and 4, the HARQ response information is transmitted inthe subframe n by using the PUCCH format 3 in a case where M is morethan 4. In a case where M is equal to or less than 4, the HARQ responseinformation is transmitted by using PUCCH format 1b for performingchannel selection, or PUCCH format 3.

An example of the transmission timing of the HARQ response informationin a TDD cell, in a case where the primary cell is an FDD cell will bedescribed.

In a case where the primary cell is an FDD cell, uplink resources(uplink component carriers) are configured in all subframes. Regarding atransmission timing of HARQ response information corresponding to aPDSCH or a PDCCH indicating a release of downlink SPS, transmission maybe performed in accordance with the transmission timing of the HARQresponse information, which is configured in an FDD cell. That is, evenin the TDD cell, in a case where the primary cell is an FDD cell, thetransmission timing is the same as the transmission timing of HARQresponse information in a case where one FDD cell is configured, or in acase where carrier aggregation for only FDD cells is performed. That is,the terminal device 2 transmits a PDSCH in a certain subframe, and thentransmits HARQ response information corresponding to the PDSCH, to thebase station apparatus 1 on a PUCCH/PUSCH after 4 subframes.

That is, in TDD cells, serving cells of which the number is more thanone are configured in the terminal device 2, at least two serving cellshave frame constitution types different from each other, and the primarycell is an FDD cell, when PDSCH transmission in which the terminaldevice 2 has been set as a target in the subframe (n−4), and the HARQresponse information is given is detected, the terminal device 2transmits the HARQ response information in the subframe n.

An example of the transmission timing of the HARQ response informationin a TDD cell, in a case where the primary cell is an FDD cell will bedescribed.

Even when the primary cell is an FDD cell, and HARQ response informationcorresponding to a PDSCH transmitted in a TDD cell, or a PDCCHindicating the release of downlink SPS is transmitted in the FDD primarycell, transmission is performed by using a transmission timing of theTDD serving cell. That is, the terminal device 2 receives a PDSCH in thesubframe n, and then transmits HARQ response information correspondingto the PDSCH, to the base station apparatus 1 by using on a PUCCH/PUSCHallocated in the subframe (n+k).

In a case where an FDD cell is the primary cell, and a TDD cell is thesecondary cell, the base station apparatus 1 receives the HARQ responseinformation corresponding to the PDSCH which has been transmitted in theTDD cell, in a subframe after 4 subframes in which the PDSCH has beentransmitted. In a case where the FDD cell is the primary cell, and theTDD cell is the secondary cell, the terminal device 2 transmits the HARQresponse information corresponding to the PDSCH which has beentransmitted in the TDD cell, in a subframe after 4 subframes from asubframe in which the PDSCH has been transmitted in the TDD cell.

That is, in TDD cells, in a case where serving cells of which the numberis more than one are configured for the terminal device 2, and theprimary cell is an FDD cell, when PDSCH transmission in which theterminal device 2 has been set as a target in the subframe (n−k), andHARQ response information is given is detected, the terminal device 2transmits the HARQ response information in the uplink subframe n. Here,k belongs to the set K (k∈K), and the set K is defined by the figure inFIG. 6. Here, the UL-DL configuration in FIG. 6 refers to a downlinkreference UL-DL configuration of this TDD cell.

Thus, even when carrier aggregation between the TDD cell and the FDDcell is performed, the terminal device 2 can transmit the HARQ responseinformation corresponding to the PDSCH or the PDCCH indicating therelease of downlink SPS, with high efficiency.

Switching of uplink reference UL-DL configurations of an FDD cell and aTDD cell will be described below. The uplink reference UL-DLconfiguration is set depending on whether the types (FDD cell, TDD cell)of the aggregated cell are the same or different from each other,whether TDD UL-DL configurations are the same or different from eachother, and whether or not cross carrier scheduling is configured.

In FDD cells, in a case where one or more FDD cells are configured inthe terminal device 2, the uplink reference UL-DL configuration for thisFDD cell is not configured.

In FDD cells, in a case where two or more serving cells are configuredin the terminal device 2, this FDD cell is the primary cell, andmonitoring a PDCCH/EPDCCH of another TDD cell for scheduling of this FDDcell is not configured in the terminal device 2, the uplink referenceUL-DL configuration for this FDD cell is not configured.

In FDD cells, in a case where two or more serving cells are configuredin the terminal device 2, this FDD cell is the secondary cell, andmonitoring a PDCCH/EPDCCH of another TDD cell for scheduling of this FDDcell is configured in the terminal device 2, the uplink reference UL-DLconfiguration of this FDD cell is an UL-DL configuration of the TDDcell.

In TDD cells, in a case where one or more TDD cells are configured inthe terminal device 2, and UL-DL configurations of all TDD cells are thesame as each other, the uplink reference UL-DL configuration of this TDDcell is an UL-DL configuration of the TDD cell.

In TDD cells, in a case where two or more TDD cells are configured inthe terminal device 2, UL-DL configurations of at least two TDD cellsare different from each other, this TDD cell is the primary cell, andmonitoring a PDCCH/EPDCCH of another TDD cell for scheduling of this TDDcell is not configured in the terminal device 2, the uplink referenceUL-DL configuration of this TDD cell is an UL-DL configuration of theTDD cell.

In TDD cells, in a case where two or more TDD cells are configured inthe terminal device 2, UL-DL configurations of at least two TDD cellsare different from each other, this TDD cell is the secondary cell, andmonitoring a PDCCH/EPDCCH of another TDD cell for scheduling of this TDDcell is configured in the terminal device 2, the uplink reference UL-DLconfiguration of this TDD cell is determined based on a table which hasbeen defined in advance by combining UL-DL configurations of this TDDcell and another TDD cell (which is described above).

In TDD cells, in a case where two or more serving cells are configuredin the terminal device 2, this TDD cell is the secondary cell, andmonitoring a PDCCH/EPDCCH of another FDD cell for scheduling of this TDDcell is configured in the terminal device 2, the uplink reference UL-DLconfiguration of this TDD cell is not configured.

Thus, even when carrier aggregation between the TDD cell and the FDDcell is performed, the terminal device 2 can receive the PUSCH with highefficiency.

An downlink assignment index (DAI) will be described below.

The DAI is used for detecting a PDCCH/EPDCCH for assigning PDSCHtransmission in which data transmitted from the base station apparatus 1is lost in the middle of transmission, and for detecting a PDCCH/EPDCCHfor performing an instruction of downlink SPS resource.

For example, in a situation in which plural pieces of HARQ responseinformation in a plurality of downlink subframes is transmitted in oneuplink subframe by HARQ response information bundling, even when aPDCCH/EPDCCH transmitted in a certain downlink subframe is lost, anddetection of the PDCCH/EPDCCH by the terminal device 2 is not possible,the terminal device 2 responds to ACK in a case where reception of thePDSCH of which an instruction is performed by a PDCCH/EPDCCH transmittedin another downlink subframe. Thus, the base station apparatus 1 doesnot enable detection of the lost PDCCH/EPDCCH.

Thus, the base station apparatus 1 notifies the terminal device 2 of avalue which is included in a DCI format, by using the DAI. The value ofwhich the notification is performed is based on the number of times oftransmitting a PDCCH/EPDCCH for performing an instruction of the releaseof downlink SPS, and based on the number of times of transmitting aPDCCH/EPDCCH among a plurality of downlink subframes corresponding toone uplink subframe in which HARQ response information can betransmitted in response to PDSCH transmission in the plurality ofdownlink subframes. The terminal device 2 acquires a value by using theDAI. The acquired value is based on the number of times of transmittinga PDCCH/EPDCCH for assigning PDSCH transmission, which has beentransmitted by the base station apparatus 1, and based on the number oftimes of transmitting a PDCCH/EPDCCH for performing an instruction ofthe release of downlink SPS. The terminal device 2 compares the acquiredvalue based on the number of times of transmitting the PDCCH/EPDCCH, tothe actual reception success number of the PDCCH/EPDCCH. If the value ofthe number of times of transmission is different from the receptionsuccess number, the terminal device 2 determines that the PDCCH/EPDCCHtransmitted in a certain downlink subframe is lost, and responds to thebase station apparatus 1 with NACK. Since the base station apparatus 1receives NACK, the base station apparatus 1 performs retransmissionprocessing in a state where a PDSCH corresponding to the lostPDCCH/EPDCCH is included. Thus, even when the PDCCH/EPDCCH is lost inthe middle of transmission, detection on the terminal device 2 side ispossible, and retransmission processing can be performed.

When HARQ response information is transmitted in a state of beingmultiplexed, the DAI is used for determining the number of bits of themultiplexed HARQ response information. The DAI is used for determiningthe number of bits of the HARQ response information which is transmittedon the PUCCH/PUSCH. The DAI is used for determining bit allocation ofthe HARQ response information transmitted on the PUCCH/PUSCH.

The DAI of which notification is performed in a state of being includedin the downlink grant indicates an accumulated value of PDCCH/EPDCCHsfor assigning PDSCH transmission and PDCCH/EPDCCHs for performing aninstruction of the release of downlink SPS until the current subframeamong a plurality of downlink subframes corresponding to one uplinksubframe in which HARQ response information can be transmitted inresponse to the PDSCH transmission in a plurality of downlink subframes.In other words, the DAI included in the downlink grant for triggeringPDSCH transmission in a subframe (n−k_(i)) indicates the number ofsubframes in which PDSCH transmission toward the terminal device 2 isperformed among subframes (from n−k₀ to n−k_(i-1)) ahead of the subframe(n−k_(i)) in a bundling window corresponding to the subframe n. ThePDSCH transmission includes PDSCH transmission by dynamic schedulingand/or PDSCH transmission by semi-persistent scheduling. In a case wherea DAI field has two bits, replacement with the actual number ofsubframes may be performed, and the remainder with respect to 4 of thenumber of subframes may be indicated.

The DAI of which notification is performed in a state of being includedin an uplink grant indicates the value of a PDCCH/EPDCCH for assigningtransmission of all PDSCHs and the value of a PDCCH/EPDCCH forperforming an instruction of the release of downlink SPS among aplurality of downlink subframes corresponding to one uplink subframe inwhich HARQ response information can be transmitted in response to thePDSCH transmission in a plurality of downlink subframes. In other words,the DAI included in the uplink grant for triggering PUSCH transmissionin the subframe n indicates the number of subframes in which PDSCHtransmission toward the terminal device 2 is performed in a bundlingwindow corresponding to the subframe n.

In the carrier aggregation between an FDD cell and a TDD cell, arelationship between a plurality of downlink subframes corresponding toone uplink subframe in which HARQ response information can betransmitted in response to the PDSCH transmission will be described.FIG. 8 illustrates an example of the relationship between an uplinksubframe and a downlink subframe in transmission of HARQ responseinformation in response to the PDSCH transmission. In FIG. 8, it isassumed that Serving cell 1 is a TDD cell and Serving cell 2 is an FDDcell. HARQ response information in response to the PDSCH transmissionwhich has been transmitted in a downlink subframe of the subframe 1 istransmitted in an uplink subframe of Serving cell 1, and HARQ responseinformation in response to the PDSCH transmission which has beentransmitted in a downlink subframe of Serving cell 2 is also transmittedin the uplink subframe of Serving cell 1. In the example of FIG. 8, HARQresponse information in response to PDSCH transmission of the subframes0 and 1 of Serving cell 1 is transmitted by using an uplink subframe ofthe subframe 7 of Serving cell 1. Since a plurality of downlinksubframes is associated with one uplink subframe, detection of losingthe PDCCH/EPDCCH is performed by using information of the DAI. HARQresponse information in response to PDSCH transmission of the subframes0, 1, 2, and 3 of Serving cell 2 is also transmitted by using the uplinksubframe of the subframe 7 of Serving cell 1. In this case, a pluralityof downlink subframes is also associated with one uplink subframe. Thatis, the information of the DAI is also included in a PDCCH/EPDCCHindicating PDSCH transmission in an FDD cell, and thus losing thePDCCH/EPDCCH can be detected, and communication with high efficiency canbe performed.

The DAI is configured for each terminal.

The DAI of which notification is performed in a state of being includedin an uplink grant is commonly configured between cells which have beensubjected to carrier aggregation. The DAI of which notification isperformed in a state of being included in the uplink grant may beconfigured for each of the cells which have been subjected to carrieraggregation. A case where the DAI is configured for each of the cellswhich have been subjected to carrier aggregation corresponds to, forexample, a case where transmission of a PUCCH in the secondary cell isallowable.

The DAI of which notification is performed in a state of being includedin a downlink grant is configured for each of the cells which have beensubjected to carrier aggregation.

In the following descriptions, the presence of the field of the DAI andapplication of the DAI assuming a case where a plurality of cells towhich different frame structure types are applied are aggregated will bedescribed.

Setting of the DAI is switched in accordance with the frame constitutiontype of a cell in which the HARQ response information is transmitted.For example, in a case where HARQ response information in an FDD cell istransmitted as a response in a TDD cell, a DAI field is set in the DCItransmitted in the FDD cell. In a case where HARQ response informationin a TDD cell is transmitted as a response in an FDD cell, a DAI fieldmay not be set in the DCI transmitted in the TDD cell.

Further, setting of the DAI may be switched in accordance with thetransmission timing of HARQ response information. For example, in a casewhere HARQ response information of an FDD cell is transmitted as aresponse in a TDD cell by using the transmission timing of HARQ responseinformation in the TDD cell, the HARQ response information istransmitted as a response for plurality of downlink subframes in oneuplink subframe. Thus, the DAI field is set. In a case where HARQresponse information of a TDD cell is transmitted as a response in anFDD cell by using the transmission timing of HARQ response informationin the FDD cell, the HARQ response information corresponding to onedownlink subframe is transmitted as a response in one uplink subframe.Thus, the DAI field is not set. In a case where HARQ responseinformation of a TDD cell is transmitted as a response in an FDD cell byusing the transmission timing of HARQ response information in the TDDcell, the HARQ response information corresponding to a plurality ofdownlink subframes is transmitted as a response in one uplink subframe.Thus, the DAI field is set. In addition, in a case where thetransmission timing of the HARQ response information of the TDD cell isalso applied to the FDD cell, if the HARQ response information of theFDD cell is transmitted as a response in the FDD cell, the DAI field isset in the DCI.

That is, in a case where the HARQ response information of the FDD cellis transmitted as a response in the TDD cell by using the transmissiontiming of the HARQ response information of the TDD cell, the DAI fieldis set in the DCI. In a case where the HARQ response information of theTDD cell is transmitted as a response in the FDD cell by using thetransmission timing of the HARQ response information of the TDD cell,the DAI field is set in the DCI. In a case where the HARQ responseinformation of the FDD cell is transmitted as a response in the FDD cellby using the transmission timing of the HARQ response information of theTDD cell, the DAI field is set in the DCI. In a case where the HARQresponse information of the TDD cell is transmitted as a response in theFDD cell by using the transmission timing of the HARQ responseinformation of the FDD cell, the DAI field may not be set in the DCI.

The base station apparatus 1 performs transmission on a PDCCH by using afirst DCI format or a second DCI format. The terminal device 2 performsreception on the PDCCH which has been transmitted by using the first DCIformat or the second DCI format. In a case where the total number ofcells of FDD and cells of TDD is set in the terminal device 2, a firstDAI indicates the accumulated number of PDCCHs or EPDCCHs indicatingPDSCH transmission or the release of downlink semi-persistent schedulingin subframes until now in a predetermined subframe. The first DAI isprovided in the first DCI format in the FDD cell, is applied to the FDDcell. A second DAI is provided in the second DCI format in the FDD cell,and is applied to the FDD cell.

An example of the presence of the field of the DAI and the applicationof the DAI by combining the primary cell and the secondary cell will bedescribed below.

An example of the presence of the field of the DAI included in the DCIrelating to a downlink grant will be described.

In a case where a PDSCH is transmitted in a TDD cell, the DAI isincluded in the DCI relating to the downlink grant, and is transmitted.In addition, in a case where a TDD cell is configured so as to be theprimary cell, and the PDSCH is transmitted in an FDD cell, the DAI isalso included in the DCI relating to the downlink grant, and istransmitted.

That is, a 2-bit field of the DAI is provided in the DCI transmitted byDCI format 1/1B/1D/2/2A/2B/2C/2D or DCI format 1A used for compactscheduling of a code word for one PDSCH in a certain cell, and a randomaccess procedure which is initialized by a PDCCH order, for TDD cells byall UL-DL configurations or for FDD secondary cells (FDD cellsaggregated in the TDD primary cell) in which the primary cell isoperated by TDD.

That is, the field of the DAI is not provided in the DCI transmitted byDCI format 1/1B/1D/2/2A/2B/2C/2D or DCI format 1A used for compactscheduling of a code word for one PDSCH in a certain cell, and a randomaccess procedure which is initialized by a PDCCH order, for FDD cells(FDD cells which are not aggregated in the TDD primary cell) in whichthe primary cell is not operated by TDD. In other words, the field ofthe DAI is not provided in the DCI transmitted in the FDD cell for theterminal device 2, in which the primary cell is configured by FDD.

An example of the presence of the field of the DAI included in the DCIrelating to a downlink grant will be described.

For example, in the terminal device 2 in which the FDD primary cell andthe TDD secondary cell are configured, the number of downlink subframesof the TDD secondary cell is smaller than the number of uplink subframesof the FDD primary cell. Thus, the value of the DAI is generally setto 1. In such a situation, since the information of the DAI is notrequired, the information of the DAI may be excluded from the DCI forcontrolling PDSCH scheduling of TDD cells. That is, in a case where theprimary cell is an FDD cell, the DAI field is not configured in a TDDcell and an FDD cell.

At a time of the TDD primary cell, in a case where a PDSCH istransmitted in the TDD cell, and in a case where a PDSCH is transmittedin the FDD cell, the DAI is also included in the DCI relating to thedownlink grant, and is transmitted. At a time of the FDD primary cell,in both of a case where a PDSCH is transmitted in the TDD cell, and acase where a PDSCH is transmitted in the FDD cell, the DAI istransmitted without being included in the DCI relating to the downlinkgrant.

That is, only when the primary cell is a TDD cell, a 2-bit field of theDAI is provided for a serving cell (FDD cell or TDD cell) in the DCItransmitted by DCI format 1/1B/1D/2/2A/2B/2C/2D or DCI format 1A usedfor compact scheduling of a code word for one PDSCH in a certain cell,and a random access procedure which is initialized by a PDCCH order.When the primary cell is an FDD cell, the field of the DAI is notprovided in the DCI.

An example of the presence of the field of the DAI included in the DCIrelating to a downlink grant will be described.

The DAI being required to be assigned in the FDD cell corresponds to acase where carrier aggregation between a TDD cell and an FDD cell isperformed, and the primary cell is a TDD cell. At this time, the DAIfield is assigned in the DCI for the FDD secondary cell. That is, onlyan USS is configured in the secondary cell. The presence of the field ofthe DAI is determined depending on the USS in which a PDCCH/EPDCCH forperforming an instruction of scheduling of an FDD cell is allocated.

That is, the field of the DAI is provided in the DCI transmitted by DCIformat 1/1B/1D/2/2A/2B/2C/2D or DCI format 1A used for compactscheduling of a code word for one PDSCH in a certain cell, and a randomaccess procedure which is initialized by a PDCCH order. The DCI isassigned in an USS for TDD cells by all UL-DL configurations or an FDDcell in which a TDD-FDD-CA configuration is configured in a higherlayer.

An example in which the DAI is included in a DCI format included in aPDCCH/EPDCCH which is transmitted in an USS of an FDD cell in a casewhere TDD-FDD-CA configuration is configured in a higher layer isdescribed. However, in a case where the TDD-FDD-CA configuration isconfigured in a higher layer, the DAI may be included in a DCI formattransmitted in a CSS of the FDD cell, and be transmitted.

An example of the presence of the field of the DAI included in the DCIrelating to a downlink grant will be described.

A PUCCH including HARQ response information is mainly transmitted byusing PUCCH resources of an uplink subframe of the primary cell. Sincethe number of downlink subframes of the FDD secondary cell is more thanthe number of uplink subframes of the TDD primary cell, the informationof the DAI is also required in the DCI for performing an instruction ofan FDD cell. In a case where a PUCCH including HARQ response informationcan be transmitted in an uplink subframe of the FDD secondary cell, theinformation of the DAI is not required in the DCI for performing aninstruction of an FDD cell.

That is, a 2-bit field of the DAI is provided in the DCI transmitted byDCI format 1/1B/1D/2/2A/2B/2C/2D or DCI format 1A used for compactscheduling of a code word for one PDSCH in a certain cell, and a randomaccess procedure which is initialized by a PDCCH order, for TDD cells byall UL-DL configurations or for FDD secondary cells (FDD cellsaggregated in the TDD primary cell) in which configuring of a PUCCHbeing transmitted in the FDD secondary cell is not performed by thehigher layer, and the primary cell is operated by TDD.

That is, in a case where configuring of a PUCCH being transmitted in theFDD secondary cell is performed by the higher layer, the field of theDAI is not provided in the DCI transmitted to the FDD cell.

When a PDSCH is transmitted in a TDD cell in which the UL-DLconfiguration is configured so as to be (1-6), the DAI is transmittedwith being included in the DCI relating to an uplink grant. In a casewhere the TDD cell is configured as the primary cell, and a PDSCH istransmitted in an FDD cell, the DAI is also transmitted with beingincluded in the DCI relating to an uplink grant.

That is, a 2-bit field of the DAI is provided in the DCI transmitted byDCI format 0/4, for TDD cells in which the UL-DL configuration isconfigured so as to be (1-6), or for FDD secondary cells (FDD cellsaggregated in the TDD primary cell) in which the primary cell isoperated by TDD.

When the primary cell is an FDD cell, in acase where a PDSCH is transmitted in a TDD cell, and in a case where aPDSCH is transmitted in an FDD cell, the DAI is also transmitted withoutbeing included in the DCI relating to the uplink grant.

That is, only when the primary cell is a TDD cell, a 2-bit field of theDAI is provided in the DCI transmitted by DCI format 0/4, for an FDDcell or a TDD cell in which the UL-DL configuration is configured so asto be (1-6).

In a case where both of PDCCH/EPDCCHindicating PDSCH transmission for instructing the terminal device 2, andthe release of downlink SPS resources are none, the terminal device 2can expect that W^(UL) _(DAI) is set to 4 by the DAI in the transmittedDCI format.

That is, in a case where the uplink reference UL-DL configuration of acertain serving cell belongs to any of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, the value ofW^(UL) _(DAI) is determined by the DAI in DCI format 0/4 whichcorresponds to the PUSCH transmitted in the serving cell, and istransmitted in the subframe (n−k′). Here, k′ is defined in the table inFIG. 13, and the TDD UL-DL configuration in the table of FIG. 13 refersto the uplink reference UL-DL configuration of the serving cell. In acase where both of PDCCH/EPDCCH indicating PDSCH transmission forinstructing the terminal device 2, and the release of downlink SPSresources are none, the terminal device 2 can expect that W^(UL) _(DAI)is set to 4 by the DAI in the transmitted DCI format.

In the following descriptions, determination of W^(UL) _(DAI) in a casewhere a plurality of cells to which different frame structure types areapplied will be described.

In a case where the primary cell is the TDD cell, even in the FDD cell,W^(UL) _(DAI) may be set by the value of the DAI included in the uplinkgrant.

An example in a case where the DAI field may be configured in a servingcell only in a case of being the TDD primary cell, and the uplinkreference UL-DL configuration is configured in the FDD cell will bedescribed.

Asillustrated in FIG. 1, the base station apparatus 1 includes a higherlayer processing unit 101, a control unit 103, a reception unit 105, atransmission unit 107, a channel measurement unit 109, and atransmit/receive antenna 111. The reception unit 105 includes a decodingportion 1051, a demodulation portion 1053, a demultiplexing portion1055, and a radio reception portion 1057. Reception processing of thebase station apparatus 1 is performed by the higher layer processingunit 101, the control unit 103, the reception unit 105, and thetransmit/receive antenna 111. The transmission unit 107 includes acoding portion 1071, a modulation portion 1073, a multiplexing portion1075, a radio transmission portion 1077, and a downlink reference signalgeneration portion 1079. Transmission processing of the base stationapparatus 1 is performed by the higher layer processing unit 101, thecontrol unit 103, the transmission unit 107, and the transmit/receiveantenna 111.

The higher layer processing unit 101 performs processing of a mediumaccess control (MAC) layer, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)layer, a radio link control (RLC) layer, and a radio resource control(RRC) layer.

The higher layer processing unit 101 generates information assigned ineach channel of a downlink, or acquires the information from a highernode, and then outputs the information to the transmission unit 107. Thehigher layer processing unit 101 assigns radio resources for causing theterminal device 2 to allocate a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)which is data information of an uplink, from radio resources of theuplink. The higher layer processing unit 101 determines radio resourcesfor allocating a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) which is datainformation of a downlink, from radio resources of the downlink.

The higher layer processing unit 101 generates downlink controlinformation indicating assignment of the radio resources, and transmitsthe generated information to the terminal device 2 through thetransmission unit 107.

The higher layer processing unit 101 preferentially allocates radioresources having good channel quality, based on a channel measurementresult of the uplink, which is input from the channel measurement unit109 when radio resources for allocating the PUSCH are assigned. That is,the higher layer processing unit 101 generates information regardingconfigurations of various downlink signals, and information regardingconfigurations of various uplink signals for a certain terminal deviceor a certain cell.

The higher layer processing unit 101 may generates information regardingsetting of various downlink signals, and information regarding settingof various uplink signals for each cell. The higher layer processingunit 101 may generates information regarding configurations of variousdownlink signals, and information regarding configurations of variousuplink signals for each terminal device 2.

The higher layer processing unit 101 may generate plural pieces ofinformation from information regarding a first configuration toinformation regarding an n-th configuration (n is natural number), andmay transmit the generated pieces of information to the terminal device2 through the transmission unit 107. The pieces of information aregenerated for a certain terminal device 2 or a certain cell, that is,are generated so as to be terminal device-specific or cell-specific. Forexample, the information regarding configurations of the downlink signaland/or the uplink signal may include parameters relating to resourceassignment.

The information regarding configurations of the downlink signal and/orthe uplink signal may include parameters used in calculating a sequence.The radio resources may be also referred to time-frequency resources,subcarriers, resource elements (RE), a resource element group (REG),control channel elements (CCE), a resource block (RB), a resource blockgroup (RBG), and the like.

Each of the configuration information and the control information may bedefined as an information element. Each of the configuration informationand the control information may be defined as an RRC message. Each ofthe configuration information and the control information may betransmitted as system information, to the terminal device 2. Theconfiguration information and the control information may be transmittedto the terminal device 2 by dedicated signaling.

The higher layer processing unit 101 configures at least one TDD UL/DLconfiguration (TDD UL/DL configuration(s), TDD config, tdd-Config, anduplink-downlink configuration(s)) in the system information blockType 1. The TDD UL/DL configuration may be defined as in FIG. 3. Theconstitution of TDD may be shown by configuring an index. A second TDDUL/DL configuration may be configured as a downlink reference. Thesystem information block may prepare a plurality of types. For example,the system information block Type 1 includes an information elementregarding the TDD UL/DL configuration.

The system information block Type 2 includes an information elementregarding a radio resource control. A parameter relating to aninformation element thereof may be included as an information element incertain information elements. For example, referring to a parameter maybe performed in a physical layer, but in a higher layer, definition asan information element may be performed.

In the present invention, an identity, an identifier, and identificationare referred to as an ID (identifier, identification sign, andidentification number). As an ID (UEID) configured so as to beterminal-specific, a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), asemi-persistent scheduling C-RNTI (SPS C-RNTI), a Temporary C-RNTI, aTPC-PUSCH RNTI, a TPC-PUCCH RNTI, and a random value for contentionresolution are provided. The IDs are used in a unit of a cell. The IDsare configured by the higher layer processing unit 101.

The higher layer processing unit 101 configures various identifiers forthe terminal device 2. The higher layer processing unit 101 notifies theterminal device 2 of the various configured identifiers through thetransmission unit 107. For example, the higher layer processing unit 101configures the RNTI and notifies the terminal device 2 of the configuredRNTI. The higher layer processing unit 101 configures a physical layercell ID, a virtual cell ID, or an ID corresponding to the virtual cellID, and notifies the terminal device 2. For example, as the IDcorresponding to the virtual cell ID, IDs (PUSCH ID, PUCCH ID,scrambling initialization ID, reference signal ID (RSID), and the like)which may be configured so as to be specific to a physical channel areprovided. The physical layer cell ID or the virtual cell ID may be usedin generating a physical channel and a sequence of a physical signal.

The channel measurement unit 209 configures asignal for measuring the channel, in accordance with the controlinformation of which notification is performed from the higher layerprocessing unit 201 through the control unit 203.

In a certain cell (first cell), in a case where an uplink subframe inwhich uplink transmission is required is generated, and thus measurementof CRS or CSI-RS is not possible in the same subframe of a cell (secondcell) different from the certain cell, the channel measurement unit 209may perform processing except for a subframe in which measurement of anaverage of measurement results (received power, reception quality,channel quality, and the like) in the second cell is not possible. Inother words, the channel measurement unit 209 may calculate an averagevalue of the measurement results (received power, reception quality,channel quality, and the like), only by using the received CRS orCSI-RS. The channel measurement unit 209 may transmit the calculationresult thereof (indicator or information corresponding to thecalculation result) to the base station apparatus 1 through thetransmission unit 207.

The transmission unit 207 generates an uplink demodulation referencesignal (UL DMRS) and/or a sounding reference signal (SRS), based on thecontrol signal (control information) input from the control unit 203.The transmission unit 207 codes and modulates data information inputfrom the higher layer processing unit 201, and performs multiplexing ofa PUCCH, a PUSCH, and the generated UL DMRS and/or the generated SRS.The transmission unit 207 adjusts transmitted power of the PUCCH, thePUSCH, the UL DMRS, and the SRS, and transmits the adjusted transmittedpower to the base station apparatus 1 through the transmit/receiveantenna 211.

In a case where information regarding a measurement result is outputfrom the higher layer processing unit 201, the transmission unit 207transmits the output information, to the base station apparatus 1through the transmit/receive antenna 211.

In a case where channel state information which is a result regardingthe channel evaluation is output from the higher layer processing unit201, the transmission unit 207 performs feedback of channel stateinformation to the base station apparatus 1. That is, the higher layerprocessing unit 201 generates channel state information (CSI, CQI, PMI,RI) based on a measurement result of which notification is performedfrom the channel measurement unit 209, and performs feedback to the basestation apparatus 1 through the control unit 203.

If a predetermined grant (or a predetermined downlink controlinformation format) is detected in the reception unit 205, thetransmission unit 207 transmits an uplink signal corresponding to thepredetermined grant in the first uplink subframe among subframessubsequent to a predetermined subframe from a subframe in which thegrant is detected. For example, if the grant is detected in the subframei, the uplink signal may be transmitted in the first uplink subframeamong subframes subsequent to a subframe (i+k).

In a case where a transmission subframe of the uplink signal is thesubframe i, the transmission unit 207 sets transmitted power of theuplink signal, based on a power control adjustment value obtained by aTPC command which is received in a subframe (i−k). Here, the powercontrol adjustment value f(i) (or g(i)) is configured based on acorrected value or an absolute value which is correlated with a valueset in the TPC command. In a case where the accumulation is effective,corrected values correlated with the value set in the TPC command areaccumulated, and the accumulation result is applied as the power controladjustment value. In a case where the accumulation is not effective, asingle absolute value which is correlated with a value set in the TPCcommand is applied as the power control adjustment value.

In a case where either of the information regarding the firstconfiguration and the information regarding the second configuration isreceived in the reception unit 205, the transmission unit 207 setstransmitted power based on a parameter relating to the first uplinkpower control. In a case where the information regarding the firstconfiguration and the information regarding the second configuration arereceived in the reception unit 205, the transmission unit 207 sets thetransmitted power based on a parameter relating to the second uplinkpower control, and transmits the uplink signal.

The coding portion 2071 performs coding such as turbo-coding,convolutional coding, and block coding, on the uplink controlinformation input from the higher layer processing unit 201, and datainformation. The modulation portion 2073 modulates the coded bits inputfrom the coding portion 2071, by using a modulation scheme such as BPSK,QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM.

The uplink reference signal generation unit 2079 generates an uplinkreference signal based on information regarding the configuration of theuplink reference signal. That is, the uplink reference signal generationunit 2079 generates CAZAC sequences known by the base station apparatus1. The CAZAC sequences are obtained by using a rule which is determinedbased on a cell identifier for identifying the base station apparatus 1,a bandwidth for assigning an uplink demodulation reference signal, thefirst uplink reference signal, and the second uplink reference signal,and the like. The uplink reference signal generation unit 2079 adds thecycling shift to the CAZAC sequences of the generated uplinkdemodulation reference signal, the first uplink reference signal, andthe second uplink reference signal, based on the control signal inputfrom the control unit 203.

The uplink reference signal generation unit 2079 may initialize basesequences of the uplink demodulation reference signal, and/or thesounding reference signal, and the uplink reference signal, based onpredetermined parameters. The predetermined parameters may be the sameas each other in the reference signals. The predetermined parameters maybe configured independently in the reference signals. That is, theuplink reference signal generation unit 2079 may initialize the basesequences of the reference signals by using the same parameter, as longas there is no parameter which is independently configured.

The multiplexing portion 2075 arranges modulation symbols of the PUSCHin parallel with each other, based on the control signal input from thecontrol unit 203, so as to perform discrete Fourier transform (DFT), andperforms multiplexing of the PUCCH, the signal of the PUSCH, and thegenerated UL DMRS, and the generated SRS.

The radio transmission portion 2077 performs Inverse Fast FourierTransform on the multiplexed signals, and performs modulation of theSC-FDMA scheme. The radio transmission portion 2077 adds a guardinterval to SC-FDMA symbols obtained by SC-FDMA modulation, andgenerates a baseband digital signal. The radio transmission portion 2077converts the baseband digital signal into an analog signal, andgenerates the same-phase component and the orthogonal component of anintermediate frequency, from the analog signal. The radio transmissionportion 2077 removes an extra frequency component from the intermediatefrequency band, and converts (up-converts) a signal having anintermediate frequency into a signal having a high frequency (radiofrequency). The radio transmission portion 2077 removes an extrafrequency component, amplifies power, and outputs the signal to thetransmit/receive antenna 211 so as to perform transmission.

In the embodiment, the case where the carrier aggregation is configured(secondary cell is configured), and the case where the PUCCH istransmitted and received in the primary cell are described. However, itis not limited thereto. In the case where the carrier aggregation isconfigured, HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDSCH in the secondary cellmay be transmitted and received in the secondary cell. At this time, ina case where the carrier aggregation is configured, and the carrieraggregation of the uplink is not configured, that is, in a case wherethe secondary cell is configured without accordance with theconfiguration of the uplink component carrier, the HARQ-ACKcorresponding to the PDSCH in the secondary cell is transmitted andreceived in the primary cell. At this time, the above process may beperformed by using the transmission and reception procedure of theHARQ-ACK which is described in the embodiment. Even in a case where theserving cell in which the PUCCH is transmitted and received is a servingcell other than the primary cell (for example, some (one) secondarycells in a secondary cell group), the above process may be performed byusing the transmission and reception procedure of the HARQ-ACK which isdescribed in the embodiment. At this time, the primary cell in theembodiment is rewritten to, for example, some secondary cells, and thussimilar effects can be exhibited.

In the embodiment, the reception processing may include detectionprocessing (detection). The reception processing may includedemodulation processing (demodulation). The reception processing mayinclude decoding processing (decode, decoding).

In the terminal device 2, the priorities of the physicalchannels/physical signals to be transmitted may be configured or definedin advance, in accordance with the type of the physical channel.

In the embodiment, the terminal device 2 may report a measurement resultof the received power to the base station apparatus 1 based on theCSI-RS or a discovery reference signal (DRS). The terminal device 2 mayperform periodically reporting. The terminal device 2 may perform thereporting in a case where a certain condition is satisfied.

In the embodiment, in a case where the terminal device 2 measures thereceived power based on the CSI-RS or the DRS, the terminal device 2 mayperform transmitted power control of the uplink signal based on thereceived power. That is, the terminal device 2 may determine downlinkpathloss based on the received power.

In the embodiment, in a case where the sum of transmitted power of thevarious uplink signals, which includes transmitted power of the firstuplink reference signal and/or the second uplink reference signalexceeds the maximum transmitted power configured in the terminal device2, the terminal device 2 may not transmit the first uplink referencesignal and/or the second uplink reference signal.

If a TDD UL/DL configuration (first TDD UL/DL configuration) for theuplink transmission reference, and a TDD UL/DL configuration (second TDDUL/DL configuration) for the downlink transmission reference areconfigured, and information regarding the uplink transmitted powercontrol is configured, in a case where subframes having the same typeare configured in the first TDD UL/DL configuration and the second TDDUL/DL configuration, the terminal device 2 sets the uplink power controlof the subframe, based on the parameters relating to the first uplinkpower control. In a case where subframes having different types areconfigured in the first TDD UL/DL configuration and the second TDD UL/DLconfiguration, the uplink power of the subframe is set based on theparameters relating to the second uplink power control.

The flexible subframe is a subframe which is an uplink subframe or adownlink subframe. The flexible subframe is a subframe which is adownlink subframe or a special subframe. The flexible subframe is asubframe which is uplink subframe or the special subframe. That is, theflexible subframe is a subframe which is a first subframe or a secondsubframe. For example, a subframe configured as the flexible subframe isprocessed as the first subframe (for example, uplink subframe) in a caseof Condition 1, and is processed as the second subframe (for example,downlink subframe) in a case of Condition 2.

The flexible subframe may be set based on the first configuration andthe second configuration. For example, in a case where a certainsubframe i is configured as the uplink subframe in the firstconfiguration, and is configured as the downlink subframe in the secondconfiguration, the subframe i functions as the flexible subframe. Theflexible subframe may be configured based on information for performingan instruction of a subframe pattern of the flexible subframe.

A plurality of subframes may be configured not based on two TDD UL/DLconfigurations, but based on one TDD UL/DL configuration and a flexiblesubframe pattern (downlink candidate subframe pattern or uplinkcandidate subframe pattern, addition subframe). The terminal device 2may receive a downlink signal by using a subframe index indicated by aflexible subframe pattern as long as, even when indication as the uplinksubframe in the TDD UL/DL configuration is performed, the uplink signalis transmitted in the subframe. The terminal device 2 may transmit theuplink signal as long as even when indication as the downlink subframein the TDD UL/DL configuration is performed, an instruction oftransmitting the uplink signal in the subframe is performed in advance.An instruction for a specific subframe as an uplink/downlink candidatesubframe may be performed.

If a certain condition is satisfied, the terminal device 2 may recognizeone set of subframes as a subframe set for an uplink, and recognize theother set of subframes as a subframe set for a downlink. Here, thesubframe set for an uplink corresponds to a set of subframes configuredfor transmitting a PUSCH and a PHICH. The downlink subframe setcorresponds to a set of subframes configured for transmitting a PDSCHand HARQ. Information indicating association of subframes with the PUSCHand the PHICH, and information indicating association of subframes withthe PDSCH and the HARQ may be configured in the terminal device 2 inadvance.

In the embodiment, a plurality of subframe sets is configured for oneserving cell (primary cell, secondary cell, carrier frequency,transmission frequency, component carrier). A cell in which a pluralityof subframe sets is configured, and a cell in which a plurality ofsubframe sets is not configured may be provided.

In the embodiment, in a case where two or more subframe sets areindependently configured for one serving cell, the maximum transmittedpower (P_(CMAX), P_(CMAX, c)) for each terminal device 2 may beconfigured for each of the subframe sets. That is, the terminal device 2may configure plural pieces of independent maximum transmitted power tobe plural. That is, plural pieces of maximum transmitted power(P_(CMAX), P_(CMAX, c)) may be set for one serving cell. Plural piecesof the maximum allowable output power (P_(EMAX, c)) may be configuredfor one serving cell.

In a case where resource assignments of various uplink signals are thesame as each other, the base station apparatus 1 may detect the variousuplink signals by using a difference between signal sequences of theuplink signals. That is, the base station apparatus 1 may recognize theuplink signal by using the difference between the signal sequences ofthe received uplink signals. The base station apparatus 1 may determinewhether or not transmission to the base station apparatus 1 isperformed, by using the difference between the signal sequences of thereceived uplink signals.

In a case where an instruction of measuring received power is performedby using the CSI-RS or the DRS from the base station apparatus 1, theterminal device 2 may calculate downlink pathloss based on themeasurement result, and use the calculated downlink pathloss in theuplink transmitted power control.

Here, the measurement of the received power may be also referred toreference signal received power (RSRP) measurement or reception signalpower measurement. Measurement of reception quality may be also referredto reference signal received quality (RSRQ) measurement or receptionsignal quality measurement.

The resource assignment (resource allocation, mapping to resourceelements, mapping to physical resources) of the CSI-RS or the DRS may befrequency-shifted. The frequency shift of the CSI-RS or the DRS may bedetermined based on the physical cell ID. The frequency shift of theCSI-RS or the DRS may be determined based on the virtual cell ID.

For example, if notification of information is not performed from thebase station apparatus 1, the terminal device 2 measures received powerof the first downlink reference signal. Notification of information foran instruction of whether or not received power of the second downlinkreference signal is measured is performed for the terminal device 2 fromthe base station apparatus 1. In a case where the instructioninformation indicates that the received power of the second downlinkreference signal may be measured, the terminal device 2 measures thereceived power of the second downlink reference signal. At this time,the terminal device 2 may measure the received power of the firstdownlink reference signal along with the measurement of the seconddownlink reference signal. In a case where the instruction informationindicates that measuring the received power of the second downlinkreference signal is not possible, the terminal device 2 measures thereceived power of only the first downlink reference signal. Theinstruction information may include information for an instruction ofwhether or not reception quality of the second downlink reference signalis measured. Regardless the instruction information, received power of athird downlink reference signal may be measured.

In a case where two subframe sets are configured for one serving cell,if the second subframe set is set to be a subframe pattern of theflexible subframe, information of instructing the flexible subframe of apattern of a subframe in which the DCI format including the TPC commandfield can be received may be transmitted to the terminal device 2 fromthe base station apparatus 1.

A pattern of a subframe in which a TPC command applicable to the uplinksubframe which belongs to the first subframe set, and a pattern of asubframe in which a TPC command applicable to the uplink subframe whichbelongs to the second subframe set may be respectively configured. Thecorrespondence between the uplink subframe and the downlink subframe inwhich the DCI format including the TPC command for the uplink subframeis transmitted may be managed in a table.

RSRP measurement results may be independent from each other in asubframe set. A RSRP by the CRS received in a downlink subframe of afixation subframe and a RSRP by the CRS received in the flexiblesubframe may be independently measured.

In the embodiment, the descriptions are made by using a resource elementor a resource block as a mapping unit of various uplink signals orvarious downlink signals, and by using a symbol, a subframe, or a radioframe as a transmitting unit in the time direction. However, it is notlimited thereto. Similar effects may be also obtained by using a regionunit and a time unit configured by an arbitrary frequency and timeinstead of the above-described units.

Furthermore, the descriptions are made by usinga port which is equivalent to the layer of MIMO, as a port correspondingto the RS subjected to the precoding processing. However, it is notlimited thereto. In addition, the present invention is applied to portscorresponding to reference signals which are different from each other,and thus similar effects may be obtained. For example, as the port, aport which is equivalent to an output end after precoding is processed,or a port which is equivalent to a physical antenna (or combination ofphysical antennae) may be used by using Unprecoded (Nonprecoded) RS, notPrecoded RS.

In the embodiment, in a case where only DCI format 3/3A is received in acertain downlink subframe, a correction value (or absolute value)corresponding to a value set in the TPC command field which is includedin DCI format 3/3A is applied to the power control adjustment value forthe transmitted power of a PUSCH which is transmitted in a specificsubframe set, regardless of which subframe set the downlink subframebelongs to. In a case where only DCI format 3/3A is received in acertain downlink subframe, the accumulation of TPC commands included inDCI format 3/3A may be applied to the power control adjustment value forthe transmitted power of a PUSCH which is transmitted in a specificsubframe set. The specific subframe set may be a set of fixationsubframes, a set of flexible subframes, or a set of arbitrary subframes.

In the embodiment, the parameter relating to the uplink power controlcorresponds to the parameter used in the transmitted power control ofthe uplink physical channel/physical signal (PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, SRS,DMRS, and the like). The parameter used in the transmitted power controlincludes information regarding switching or (re)configuring of variousparameters which are used in configuring transmitted power of variousuplink physical channels. The parameter relating to the downlinktransmitted power control corresponds to the parameter used in thetransmitted power control of the downlink physical channel/physicalsignal (CRS, UERS (DL DMRS), CSI-RS, PDSCH, PDCCH/EPDCCH, PBCH, PSS/SSS,PMCH, PRS, and the like). The parameter used in the transmitted powercontrol includes information regarding switching or (re)configuring ofvarious parameters which are used in configuring transmitted power ofvarious downlink physical channels.
